Here's to the awesome folks who arrived unexpectedly, but stayed long enough to get me where I needed to go, in a hurry, safely, and as comfortably as possible.

To Chris and Colleen, the most awesome EMS folks I've ever met. Thank you for your compassion; what might be routinely performed, or done by rote, never seemed that way to this patient

To the two of 64 firefighters with the AFES, thanks for the gentle extrication and the lift. 

To the DRPS PC for arriving on scene with amazing and purposeful timing.

To the 911 operator whose calm response helped me focus on providing important information and took my immediate attention away from panic and intense pain.

And to the the nursing staff and volunteers of the Rouge Valley Ajax-Pickering Hospital, thanks for the warm blanket and the xrays; there's much a patient hears and feels while strapped to a backboard for hours with only dirty ceiling tiles to stare at.
