Something that pisses me off (fair weather friends)

You know what I am talking about. You have them I'm sure. You possibly have this friends that are only around when they want something or when they break up with there significant other. All the sudden you have the friends that you had a month ago or a year ago. Their calling you all the time or wanna hang out. But just last month or yesterday you weren't even saved on their phone as a contact. Now I know I work alot but I am always there for my friends or at least try to. So what do You do with these type of peeps??

It's been a long time

I wish i could say that it's because I'm dating a new hottie or something but i have just been lazy and working ton's and haven't been able to get on here.
This week has been pretty slow which is good. I love going to work and being able to try and make a difference. Sometimes I do and sometimes I'm just a taxi driver.
My Monday partner teased me about sometimes giving to much to patients. About a two weeks ago we have a 60ish female that obviously had a stroke. She could moving nothing on her right side and she also had wheezes bilaterally in her lungs. The stroke had just happened cause her family left two hours ago and she was normal. She had a bowel movement and it was all in her pants and had went up into her shirt. I thought if this was my Grandma there would be no way i would leave her like that. So i asked if they had baby wipes since they had a young child. I took off her clothes and tried to clean her as well as I could. I told my partner to go grab the cot and take the equipment out. I tried to make sure we weren't wasting anytime since she was a Code one patient. I probably used 40 wipes but i go her all cleaned up. She couldn't talk but i could tell she appreciated it cause she had tears in her eyes. We loaded her up and we were on our way to a Flint Hospital. My Monday partner said "Fawn how did u do that? I would have puked" I said It wasn't that bad. I just thought of her as my grandma and when you think of it that way it's not even a issue.

What a year a difference makes...

A little over a year ago I sat on my couch way, way depressed. I sat in my PJ's and barely got up. I lost my job on Dec 2nd and apparently all my friends. Every one I had hung out with and had worked with for six years apparently forgot about me or didn't give a shit. To this day I haven't heard from i would say 90 percent of them. This was the second time in a year. I was started to think i was destined to have bad luck.
At the end of Dec I heard from my current employer, which if you know me you know who it is. It's a private ambulance. I was interviewed by three people. T.C during the interview asked me a interesting question. What if Detroit calls?? Would you go back??
I have thought about the question for a long time. I did love the money and I did love the people I worked with. I had learned so much working five years there. I had in one month four pediatric CPR's. The knowledge and calls i had in five years at Detroit were more than i ever had in seven years at AMR.
Now A year later I am happy and having fun. The people I work for are reasonable and I think after what happen to me a Detroit i hope they know I'm at least honest.
I won employee of the year and I actually like going to work. I have fawnized most of the bases. I try to make the bases I work at like small homes. I am there for 24 to 48 hours. The people I work with are usually younger and most of them have few worries.
What will the next year bring year??I'm not sure but I like were the last year has brought.

Some new Hardware

So on Monday I get called in the office and I was a little scared. Cause when your fired twice in six months, you have every reason to be scared. So K.R. (OPS manager)get me going and says its a purple folder issue.(sexual harassment) I'm thinking who would i harass??
Then he hands me a yellow envelope with a MERIT pin, letter and certificate. I was given a MERIT badge for a call we had. My first question of course was did my partner get one, cause it was a joint venture, and she did.
So check it out if you would like..

My illness

I know I have been asking alot of really strange questions to alot of you, the reason has been I have been going through alot of testing for Breast CA for the last couple of weeks. Next week I have another biopsy scheduled. I have been going through alot of blood draws also. So if anyone See's some hole marks in my arms don't think i am shooting up drugs.
As for the questions it is because i wanna make sure if anything god forbid happens I have everything all lined up. I know my mother would probably put me in a coffin with a couple of dogs or cats an throw me in the back yard.

Uniforms

So I was thinkin today. I have been wearing some sort of uniform for over half of my life. First awana's and then band and now FF and being a medic. It's funny cause when i do get a date I have to dig through half of my clothes looking for something that doesn't resemble a uniform. So is anyone willing to make me dig through my closet's??? And just so you know it doesn't have to be a date. I MISS ALL OF MY BFF'S!!!!

Our FD open house

So i went and picked up and grandma to go to our grand opening of our new fire house. I arrived at her apt and she had on her NOCFA shirt on. She was looking pretty cool i must say. We drove the 45 minutes up there. We arrived and i gave her a tour. She stated it looks like the other fire station ( Tri-City).LOL. I got her some food and cake when chief came over and said "Hey Fawn a woman is here from the Fish Lk/Grange Hall accident and she would like to get a picture with all of her hero's" So i went over there and met her and her grandchildren and we all took a picture with her and her grandchildren. She asked who stuck her with the I.V. and all the Firefighters pointed to me. Then she stated thank you Fawn for getting the I.V. and only sticking me once, I have horrible veins. It was a awesome feeling to get that kind of moment so to speak and have my grandmother there also. She then went over to my grandmother and told her she did a great job with me. I told her that mygrandmother is the awesome one not me. Then I told her where do you think i got my awesome I.V. skills from. LOL
