It occurs to me that I have remiss in updating this post - my apologies to everyone who wished me well and a belated thank you.
I ended up up with seven ribs busted and a punctured lung all on the left-hand side. I have no recollection of anything for around thirty minutes or so before the event, during the event and through the following day or so.
My current state is "HAPPY" but still tender. I have a new toy in the shed and I'm finally off the serious painkillers, although just occasionally, I'm reminded how well they worked.
So, my thanks to all who posted on the website and:
The Southern Cross St Johns Ambulance crew
The Royal Flying Doctor Service
The Southern Cross locals who gave their time and resources
The Doctors, Nurses and Staff at Royal Perth Hospital

I am humbled by the care, concern and support shown to both Becky and me during this time. Thank you.
