Thanks to one and all for your concerns. We know it could have been much worse and now that we are back home the healing can continue. Ironically about 10 years ago we were at the Watchman CG and I fell and hit my head. My friend found me face down on the ground. I did not know where I was, who was president what day it was etc. so he called 911.
The ambulance ride to St George took 90 minutes and was billed to the VA at $2,684. Dehydration had caused the fall and I recovered after 4 hours in the ER. I have a serious medical kit {from my boating career} but there is no way I was capable of treating an injury this severe. Like a moron I had forgotten the kit at home on this trip which will never happen again. :S
I knew from prior training that an immediate med evac to a proper facility was our only option as confirmed by Daniel. I can't say enough good things about his professional assistance, had he not been able to slow the bleeding I'm not sure an hour in transit would have ended well.
