I don’t do much with it, but I have another blog I run called Public Safety Tidbits (www.festidbits.wordpress.com) that is primarily about fire/ems/police/safety related stuff. Some is about, some is for those who work in above fields.

Glad you liked. Firefighters, EMTParamedics, & police officer (basically all public safety) and military have aleays been what I call heroes. I seem to have a passion for fire & EMS. I have another blog where I do more Fire EMS related stuff at http://www.festidbits.wordpress.com

They are a band of heroes. Four of them walked into my house, carried me to the ambulance, talked to me on the ride,and delivered me to the emergency room of the hospital, brushing aside requests for paper work until they deposited me onto a bed beyond the doors. They, literally, saved my life. Some of my students have become firemen. Some have become policemen. All are helping us every day. Kudos and applause and grateful thanks to them.

I agree. My thoughts of thanks go to these guys daily. Glad that you we’re taken such good care of. It must have been a scary time.

Because I had lost so much blood from internal bleeding, I was very weak, but happy to see the Firemen. The ride to the hospital was scary because the one with me was watching my vitals that were yo-yoing, and I knew he was very concerned. He kept apologizing to me about the rough ride because the shocks in the vehicle were shot. I felt secure because I knew I was in good hands.

I can imagine you were. Internal bleeding and yo-yoing vitals — yikes, that is scary. What was the reason?

A bleeding ulcer. The extreme loss of blood caused my heart to act up. They gave me what I call “two bags of blood.” Then, they had to go into my stomach and close the bleeding ulcer with a staple. Not pleasant,Tena. As a consequence, I cannot take aspirin in any form.

No, doesn’t sound pleasant at all. Glad your okay now (assuming),

I was a dispatcher for a volunteer fire department & I recognize a lot of these adjectives as being applicable. Thanks for following Benzeknees.
