Day 138

These are my texts from Stuart:

11:26pm
  • Got back from breakfast.... looks like we have a mission today
  • total time will be about 5 hours round trip, staying in country
  • don't know when we will be going though
8:04am
  • I am safe
  • but we didn't make it to get the patient yet
  • we are leaving now again in two hours and should be there and back
  • so another 4-5 hours and i should be back here for good
say what? so upon my further questioning...

825am
  • went another FOB (forward operating base) on the way 
  • but the plane was having problems with hydraulic fuel
  • so we came back to bagram and are switching planes
Awesome. Not. He said he only slept about 2 hours and couldn't sleep on the plane. Poor thing. As I write this its 230pm. I should be hearing from him soon, very soon hopefully.

522pm. yes. 522pm. A heck of a lot longer than 4-5hours. I was worried SICK.

  • Im back
  • you don't even want to know
  • day from hell
  • lets see, we went to that FOB earlier then had to come back because of hydraulic fuel
  • switched planes here and tried to get that plane going but one of the engines didn't start
  • so we switched planes again.... then we had to wait for the AE crews to switch because they were going to run out of time in their "duty" day
  • so we waited for another hour then finally took off
  • then got back here around zero dark thirty and went to the hospital to drop the patient off
  • then ran to chow bc i hadn't eaten all day long
  • then back here
  • i know... i know you are worried sick about me
  • i have slept one to two hours in the last 36 hours but oh well
  • ill get back on track here soon

Back on the home front, besides worrying to death, we ran some errands this morning. And then I did a lot of laundry. And then we played outside =)





Today, he wanted to get on all of the tractors!
