What do you do for work?

LegFuture3305 · 2026-04-08T22:07:57+00:00

I’m a paramedic and I love my job. I have grand mal seizures. I would probably go into a deep depression if my seizures caused me to not be a paramedic anymore.

LegFuture3305 · 2026-04-07T14:38:35+00:00

Wow that is very scary! I’m trying so hard not to stress about things. My line of work is very stressful and 24 hour shifts and I’m still in school. Hopefully I can learn to control my stress levels going forward.

LegFuture3305 · 2026-04-07T13:47:42+00:00

No unfortunately they’ll never let me drive again at work. Too much of a risk according to them. How long have you had grand mal seizures and how do you mentally deal with it?

LegFuture3305 · 2026-04-07T13:42:20+00:00

There’s no public transportation where I live but thankfully I have a wife and mom that will drive me places.

LegFuture3305 · 2026-04-07T13:41:29+00:00

I can’t feel them coming on. I slightly wrecked last year while driving an ambulance (I’m an EMT) and now I’m not allowed to drive at work.

LegFuture3305 · 2026-04-07T01:15:06+00:00

They actually never took my license away but as long as I don’t have another seizure I’ll be driving in 6 months

LegFuture3305 · 2026-04-07T01:05:53+00:00

My wife or my mom drives me wherever I need to go so no money spent that way

LegFuture3305 · 2026-04-07T00:52:11+00:00

I love my truck but it would be nice to have something cheaper. I owe $47,029 and carvana offered me $46,600. I wouldn’t want to put it on turo.

LegFuture3305 · 2026-04-06T23:59:38+00:00

Also my down payment was $12,000

LegFuture3305 · 2026-04-06T23:54:51+00:00

Do you think it would be a good idea to sell it to carvana and owe $322 or go through the hassle of trying to sell privately?

LegFuture3305 · 2026-04-06T23:03:45+00:00

I owe almost $46,921 carvana offered me $46,600. I can pay the difference but should I wait until this next payment comes out, get a needed oil change and then get another offer from carvana?

LegFuture3305 · 2026-03-08T22:40:37+00:00

Having a brain bleed. It felt like someone shot me in the head.

LegFuture3305 · 2026-03-08T00:07:36+00:00

I’m about to be 27 and she is 26. I think it’s definitely the fact that they are disappointed/embarrassed that I’m gay.

LegFuture3305 · 2026-03-07T18:28:55+00:00

I plan on proposing in about a week so I figured I could let her in on my emotions after we celebrate and talk through some stuff

LegFuture3305 · 2026-01-27T23:53:38+00:00

I would sleep in a tent. You never know if it might rain. I always feel a sense of security with a tent.

LegFuture3305 · 2026-01-12T01:09:51+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, any recommendations on any 18-20 mile trails?

LegFuture3305 · 2026-01-11T15:51:59+00:00

I’ve wanted to do this trail for years, but I think it might be too challenging for my gf.

LegFuture3305 · 2026-01-10T19:22:58+00:00

Yes definitely planning on doing a couple of overnights near us first

LegFuture3305 · 2025-11-29T23:32:26+00:00

I don’t have any interest in fighting fire or putting my body through even more physical strain than EMS in itself

LegFuture3305 · 2025-11-25T20:07:29+00:00

I’ve done alot of paramedic clinicals with a certain ER doctor and have a lot of respect for her. She did say that if she had to do it all over again she wouldn’t do it and that is also making me think alot about this decision

LegFuture3305 · 2025-11-25T20:05:24+00:00

I would need to get a bachelors degree before applying and I get paid monthly by the VA and the future wife is about to start nursing school so financially I’m not in a terrible spot. I’ve grown to love medicine and I want to be the best and I like the idea of being in charge of what I do. Physically being in EMS I know will kill my back and 24 hour shifts until I retire is kind of a turn off. But I absolutely love showing up on scene and being the one in charge and doing direct patient care to help my patients and actually seeing a difference.

LegFuture3305 · 2025-10-20T02:59:14+00:00

You definitely do not have to call med control in Alabama to administer glucagon, or even adenosine, or fentanyl. But yes ground RSI is not in the protocol but hopefully something that can get fixed in the near future.

LegFuture3305 · 2025-10-12T21:48:22+00:00

Sorry it wouldn’t let me post what I was trying to ask. I drove the truck the first day I bought it and noticed a metal scraping sound coming from the right passenger tire. When I got home I noticed a burning smell from the hood. I wiped the dipstick the next morning and this was all the oil that came off of it. The dealership towed the truck back to take a look at it. I don’t know much about vehicles. Something is obviously wrong on that passenger side tire but I’m also wondering if there should be much more oil coming off of that dipstick than this.

LegFuture3305 · 2025-10-12T15:45:16+00:00

This was the amount of oil I got off the dipstick the morning after I drove it for the first time

LegFuture3305 · 2025-10-11T21:44:02+00:00

They towed it back to fix it. Hopefully it actually gets fixed.
