Ambulances don't carry water

[Gemini Cricket]

Holy cow!

Hmmm. My friend Roddy had the same thing happen to him. He woke up and his back seized up. The pain from his back went through him and he thought he was having a heart attack. His wife called the ambulance, the whole bit. They took x-rays and all that and told him it was a spasm.

One of the things he said attributed to this was that his mattress was really soft. Too soft. It really messed with his spine. He was on some muscle relaxers and he was fine.

Hang in there, Mr. GD.

Damn, that sounds like a tuff day. Where can we send our sympathy gifts?

Oh, firemen are never inappropriate.

They are the cherry on top when we meet up at Starbucks, run out for groceries, are stopped at the red light....Mmhmmm.

But I digress.

GD, I am so sorry to hear about this incident!!! My back has always bugged me but luckily no to this extent. That would freak me the hellout.

It is awful because you do think once you're in their care that the pain will stop but it doesn't until the doc sees you and allows them to give you something, right?

Take care of yourself and keep us posted.

I mean, how can they not carry water? What if someone's dehydrated?

[MouseWife]

Um...they probably carry those packs that they have to give you an i.v. for. I forget what they are called. I guess they don't do it automatically.

But, like you said in another thread, sometimes water can really make the difference.

Um, since my second question after "how are you feeling now?" was going to be "were the paramedics at least appropriately cute?" - - I'd say 'no.'







(Actually, hunky paramedics would have been my third question, since my second seems to have been "what are you going to do with any unused drugs?")

Yeah, but how many of them were laying on the bed in their underwear?

I made it through the ight withouth re-dosing. This morning I felt almost as good sans-dope as I was feeling last night with dope (almost).

The vicodin and soma should be kicking in any minute now...

I'm going to sound like a total dopehead but, Vicodin's good stuff. It helped a lot after my sinus surgery...
