Actually doing something....

Well, after 6 days in EMS Summer Camp, Jared finally got his first real assignment. He was paired up from a medic from St. Louis. Her previous partner had been fired that morning so he replaced him. He was fired for making a racial comment at the hospital towards the patient they were about to transport. Stupid guy! Jared's first task was to drive out to Corpus Christie Texas with a patient. I can't remember where they picked the patient up at though. Once they did that, it was off to Houston. He said it was like a ghost town. The curfew was still in effect so there was NO ONE out by the time they got dinner. The curfew is so strict that if you are caught out after 10 pm, you go straight to jail. They aren't messing around there. While in Houston he had a chance to meet up and talk with the other crews from Las Vegas that were out there. One of the guys has been given a fairly important position out there, Jared hopes he will put in a good word for him and he will get to help out with that. Jared and his strike team had to drive back to San Antonio early this morning. He drove the entire way while his partner slept. A little unfair. She offered to drive after hitting the two mile road that leads onto the air force base. He is exhausted this morning. He gets 8 hours of down time right now and then it is off again. Not sure what they will be doing but most of the patients can be returned to the facilities they came from. They should start that undertaking today. I miss him terribly. I feel very overwhelmed with doing everything on my own at home. Its a little stressful but I know that he is helping out there now and that will help immensely with our finances. Well, I am off to feed the dogs, feed myself and get the bills paid.
