Bloody hell, Jimbo, good job that driver came along when he did, I haven’t worked at 14 below, but I have been in hot, dry and lonely places and in any extreme a sudden fall like that can often mean curtains.
Hope your insurance is good, don’t know about Canada but I have heard that in the USA not everybody is well covered.
Once your out of there and convalescing at home, just take advantage and take it easy.
