Just returned from the burn unit at St. Francis. A great team of Dr's and nurses gave me a tour. Rhonda, Sara, Doug, and Lynnette do a fantastic job with patient care. I met with Tony, a burn patient there. Tony is President of the Tonkawa Tribe in OK, who are originally from Texas, and signed the FF Harley. Tony is a super cool guy and is happy to be in the burn survivor community/club and we're happy to welcome him. Tony also donated 2 new Harleys for the hospital's fundraiser "Poker Run" this week, what a guy.
I also met with Hally, a six year old girl who is recovering well. I hope you like your cars Hally. Remember, it's easier to be like Spongebob than Squidward. PLEASE keep Hally in your thoughts and prayers at this complicated time in her life. I wish I could trade places with her. Too bad there isn't an easy button for that.
No two 911 calls are the same - this story is testament to that. We responded to a reported house/kitchen fire this AM. As it turns out, we suspect a couple hundred roaches completed a 220volt circuit in the resident's stove and fried the wires. To complicate things we found out that Raid is highly flammable. jk
I'm going out tonight with some folks from the hospital to check out Wichita away from the fire station. Then it's off to Ulysses, KS tomorrow. Yee haw!
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Prior to this trip, I had slept at only 3 different firehouses in my life, which had below zero temps in the bunkroom. Now that I've slept at more: WHY DO BUNKROOMS HAVE TO BE SO COLD??? I like it chilly but I feel like I'm at an Everest base camp sometimes. Your thoughts???????
I'm out, and I'm gone......I tell you now I kick it on and on!
