Re: Fire, training and Fibro Vicky

[Guest guest]

yup the only gear I was wearing was normal fire fighter gear, I was not wearing

SCBA since I am not certified or even trianed to use one. So yeah I agree I

shouldn't have been so close and lemme tell ya I've learned more from this

experience.

I had a great deal of pain for days. I am still hurting from Saturday

Re: Fire, training and Fibro Vicky

That is the frustrating part of the disease with me. When I feel good enough to

go somewhere, but know it is a full day of walking, standing, and, this means I

can no longer even do a mall trip anymore or shop more than a store a day. As I

also know I will pay, and it is upsetting, because I can be going along fine,

then after a few hrs, my lower back starts to hurt, then it keeps getting worse,

my legs start to get involve and by the end of the event I am screaming inside I

have to go home. Then for few days I am all messed up, but people don't seem to

understand the pain we can get in from just a supposedly simple to them day out,

parades, shopping, any event where u are up on your legs or just unable to rest

within the long day period...... . I am glad u had the proper help around u for

inhaling that smoke, can't believe they had u that close and no gear to keep u

safe from breathing smoke.

Well it seems that since friday I've been a rather busy bee. First thing

Saturday morning Pat and I got up, got dressed and headed over to the fire dept.

He first had us go and pick up the tanker from the second dept. Since we were

having a big traning day. Things were going well, but suddenly it seemed I was

to be the person that was taking pictures, video and watching. Since I am not a

fully trained fire fighter I couldn't enter the building for the traning. So of

course that wasn't a had thing I enjoyed watching and taking pictures problem is

that meant I was no more than a few feet from a burning building all day. We

started the training about 10 am and that meant I was inhailing smoke since we

started. Toward the end I was complaing that I was having a hard time breathing.

So pat took the camera from me and sent me to have a nice sit down with the

medics, now that was a total of three different members of the dept that had

gone to see the medics

that day, but I was the one that was having a issue since I couldn't breathing.

They put me on oxgyen and had me sit down for a while, I missed the end of the

fire but at least I knew that I had proper care. Yes I know that I wasn't

wearing proper gear to be that close to a fire but they wouldn't give me

anything.

But I knew that I would also pay dearly for going all day on my feet. I have bad

legs, knees, back and such. so what is worse I also went to work the next day

and today of course. And I have to work tomorrow. if I can make it, I am also

sick.
