06/30/2005: "Good bye Saskatchewan!"

Well the day is almost upon me to which I take my journey to the USofA. The First (1) of July (Canada Day) will be my day of retreat, no longer will I remain here to gather dust and grow old. I am moving on as time moves me on. Hopefully to something better then what I have here?

I'll be leavening early morning, possibly around 4-5am with my car packed with my essentials. (Computer and cloths)

Work was alright today, took for ever to end though. Oh well. Hey I have a story for y'all. The other day a trucker came into the Truck Stop with his brother, who was having severe pains in his neck and head. We called the ambulance, when they got there he was in major pain and bent his truck steering wheel from holding onto it when the pain struck. His blood pressure dropped really low just after the medics got there and he passed out, his heart stopped but the medics restabilized him and took him into the city to the hospital. While he was there his brother stayed behind to watch on the trucks in the lot. He came into the restaurant to get a bite to eat and to let us know how his brother was doing and what was happening. His brother was doing fine. The doctors released him around midnight. His brother picked him up and brought him back to the truck stop to his truck. He was fine, everything was good with him. Doctors did all kinds of test but couldn't find anything wrong with him so the released him after a few hours because he was in stable and good condition.

Well when I got to work today the Mounties where by his truck. His brother died last night in his truck from a heart frailer. The truck driver is one of the nicest men I have ever met and talked with over the years that I have worked at the Truck Stop. His brother went to wake him in the morning but he didn't wake up, so he broke into the truck and found him dead. Poor guy. They where on their way to Winnipeg to see the doctors because his heart was bad and there was an operation going to be done on him to fix his heart before it killed him. It was too late.

My condolences to him and his family. May his brother rest in peace.

I check with other people trying to get the RSS feed to work for this site, and I get mixed results from it's you, to it's your browser. Can anyone confirm the problem?

I can't seem to get my RSS feed for this blog to work. Is it me or the site?
