I'm in a similar boat. Promoted last week and received my first raise in almost a decade. I usually hop between jobs every other year or so and it's always been a "as long as I can make what I'm making now I'll take the new job". Do that enough times and you start to wonder why you never asked for more... 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know a guy who was a paramedic and turned it into an awesome 35+ year career. The job can be stressful so make sure you take care of yourself and your partners. Hopefully you'll work for a outfit that invests in their staff and has a good CISM program in place. Good luck and go save lives! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck and go save lives! Thank you! The official word posted on the NREMT yesterday. I am fortunate to already have a good therapist of my own. I know several of the medics at my current job and they're good folks. A nice mix of pleasantly nuts, which I think helps survive the job. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bunnyman666 445 Report post Posted July 13, 2018 Last Sunday was the first time I participated in goal since my UC problems and resultant Illeostomy. Whilst gassed after a couple of hours, I can’t wait to hit it again this Sunday. Don’t let something like wearing an ostomy bag stop you from living life. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted August 22, 2018 First time skating out in pickup since I broke my ankle in May 2016 (at least, first full session - both previous times I tried I ended up tending goal in player gear because the goalie was either injured or didn’t show up). Scored three goals. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor guy having to hang em up because of all his injuries. I know he had similar neck issues around the same time I had mine so I've kept tabs on his recovery, unfortunately now the lack thereof recovery. Hope at least he can heal up enough to not stop him from living a normal life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
