A 3 day weekend comes along, and wouldn't you know it, both Vanessa and I are sick. Of course there is still so much to do...find a van being at the top of that list. Once I get a free bit of time, I'll figure out how to link up my twitter account to the ol' blog here.
Also looking forward to the rest of the "experiencing God" series that we are doing.

The lack of vacation time over the holidays has paid off. I am no longer a paramedic student, I am now a trained paramedic. I just need to get my license to practice, and then I'm off to the races.

Vacation? Not for me...

I'm taking most of this week off of work from Coza Tuscan Grill, the finest Italian cooking at the corner of 200th and the Langley bypass. What a crazy idea you may say, to take most of the week off. As a server, you don't get paid unless you work you silly man.
Well, I am taking it off to work on the ambulance. And by work, I mean ride on the ambulance and do everything that I would do if I was getting paid to be a paramedic, all in the hopes of coming across that last elusive competency "spinal management".
That's not to say I haven't been learning with every call I have done for the last two days, and will continue to learn from on my two night shifts coming up, cause with this job you need to learn something from every call you do. Like the guy who had an infection that caused him to be hypothermic. Usually when you have an infection ravishing your body you end up sweaty and feverish. Apparently, there is such a thing as a hypothermic reaction to an infection. Very rare though, as testified by my preceptors. 32 years and 20 years experience for them, and neither had ever seen a "cold sepsis".
I am thankful that I get to have these shifts for the experience. It would be nice to be finished though, so I can get my license and start getting paid to take a week off of work.
