So today was a good day. Mom was here so I got to sleep in!! YEA!!! I went to the commissary and I'm not kidding you people here the line was SO long that it took an hour and a half just to checkout!!! How crazy is that!!!! It was annoying for sure but I'm still in a good mood. I filled up the car b/c it was on E I was expecting a long line but nope no line at all :) Now I'm just waiting on Kath to get off work so we can go shopping. I need to get some new tarts and Zach's comfortor ripped so he needs a new one. We SO don't have the money for that but oh well such is life I suppose. Matt IMed last time and I guess eh kind've saved some guys life. No no war story or anything so dramatic. He's in NJ training they are basically sitting there twiddling their fingers. The training is for only 9 days yet they are there for like 35 days! They are sleeping in tents and etc. basically everyone is pissed off. Anyway back to my story....they I guess decided to give them something to do so they ran a course in the middle of the day. Well some guy makes it through the course and overheats. He's convulsing and not sweating and nearly passing out. SO while everyone else just stands there. Matt strips his gear off and dousing the guy with water keeps him awake and gives him water. The medic strolls over and this idiot had NO idea what to do. Matt had to prep the guys arm and show the idiot where the vein was. So the medic gets the needle in and then is like UM. I don't know how to stop the blood. DUR. So matt stops the blood and hooks up the line and the IV bag and sits with the guy until the EMT's get there. Awww my little hero. I mean no he didn't really save the guys life persay. But it still was a damn good thing he was there :) :)
