Lunch break action

Emergency at Subway today. Cashier guy went and had a seizure. By the time Trish and I got there for lunch, he was laying face down behind the counter and the fire truck was just pulling up. (Picture seeing Cody in the car tilting his head side to side. He does this when sirens go by. It's so cute!)

Bloody napkins were around him. He looked aweful. Emergency action like that gets me all fired up! The one firefighter must have been the resident paramedic like Erik, which I told Trish.

Me: That's what my brother-in-law does. And he just got his paramedic certification. So that means he's like the go-to guy.
(or as Erik says, he calls the shots)
Trish: Awesome.

Me: Yeah it's cool! (...proceeded to order a turkey sandwich instead of tuna, because i was so engrossed in all the action behind the counter.)

Then the guy got up quick and threw up. Gross. But I was still watching. Trish looked disgusted. Two women came in and when they realized what was going on, they started laughing. I gave them a dirty look.

So the Paramedics showed up and brought the stretcher in. The guy wasn't doing good from what I saw. He was soaked in sweat and actually had blood coming out of his ears.

I hope you enjoyed the play-by-play, because I tell you what...It was quite a lunch break!

And since my blood sugar was feeling a bit low by the time I had to pay, I got two chocolate chip cookies.
