He's Back...

It has really been a long time since I have posted a blog. Twitter and Facebook are my lazy ways out of typing a daily story on here, but I think I've missed it. So welcome back to the never ending story of James Chadwick McCoy..still hate my name...

Lots of changes have taken place, as I always realize after the fact. I'm working as an EMT at the NMMC in Tupelo. I work nights so I live a weird schedule. I still work part-time at 911 but don't know how much longer I will. Today I met with my insurance agent. She said I should start looking at Life Insurance policies and even gave me two figures to study. Seriously?? Life insurance at 21 years-old?? It' s a good thing she was hott!

Last night I started P90x.. Funny thing is when it was over I was actin all bad cuz I wasnt sore. I am paying for my conceitedness this morning as it is near impossible to hold my arms up to type this.

Took a patient home the other night from the hospital. Me and my partner have picked him up at their house before, so we knew his wife. She told us when we were leaving that we were her favorite crew to pick him up because we always listened to her. How awesome it is to get recognition-- or acknowledgement to say the least-- for the job I do. Sure does make me wanna go the extra mile!

Enjoying the rest of the day/night off tonight... back to work tomorrow night. I'm going to try to start posting great stories that I have on the adventures of EMS. Hope they're interesting to ya. Until next time, Praise God and hug your grandparents!

You just thought I was done. So did I but remembered another story...
I worked Thursday night, so slept Friday morning. Get a call from my brother about noon.
"Chad! Come quick! Get out to the nursing home! They almost lost Grandmommie and they're working on her now!"
I put my contacts in and rushed out there to find that my great grandmother had choked on some fried chicken while my brother was visiting. You see, she had a viral infection and could hardly swallow liquids, but the staff wanted her to have a full meal.. I'm still mad about that...
After they removed the food and got her back breathing, she was admitted to the hospital because they were afraid she had aspirated some of the food in her lungs. Turns out she's alright. Just a bad virus. God has blessed us with more time with her on Earth. She is 92 years young.

OK I'm done now. Have a good Monday, everyone!
