Last night was an interesting night to say the least.
I worked, then went Casablanca with Sean and a bunch of other gay peeps and had Queer Night, LOL
We had hooka, it was fun.
Then we stopped at pick n save and got some chips and salsa on our way back to my house. Then we were going to a party.
Were were on the 30, and right in front of the midwest express center, when we heard what I thought was a gunshot and I was getting ready to hit the floor. The bus stopped and everyone look around and I heard a woman yell "omg, he just walked out into the road" and I realized the bus had just hit a man. I was the first person to run off the bus. I tried to call 911 but the call wouldn't go through. A doctor and I reached the man at the same time. She was a surgery resident who had happened to be riding behind us. I told her I was a CNA and asked her if I could assist her in any way. The man was passed out and vomiting. She had me hold his neck so he wouldn't move it and so his airway would stay open. His head was split open and as I said, he was vomiting. I also had no gloves on and it was rolling down the sides of my hands. He started coming too and we had to keep him calm, told him not to move, that he had been hit by a bus and that the ambulance was on it's way.
I went across the street to the bar in the hotel to wash my hands.
The smell still stayed on them until we got home and I washed them a second time.
Needless to say, Sean and I decided that we would walk the rest of the way home.
I just keep turning the whole incident around in my head. I hope that man is ok. He had been drinking...and I think he had something with sour kraut in it. I noticed at the party later my pants had some blood on them. Just a few drops. I really wish I could find out how he is doing. I'll have to look into it, and see if somehow I could find out.
I'll be keeping him in my prayers and I'll be sending him energy.
If you all could do that too I'd really appreciate it. I'm really worried about him.
