They really were Angels, huh?  I am very glad you made it out so quickly and 
are going to suffer no long term effects.  That had to have been very scary.

This brings up a question for you medically inclined listers out there - if 
she had to walk back to her car, 4 miles away, to call 911, and it took them 
30 minutes to get there . . . assuming she "hobbled" the 4 miles in, oh, say 
2 or 3 hours - 

How much worse would the results of this incident been?  

By the way - sure am glad I have Leki's now ;)  Talk about multi purpose 
items . . . . 
dogs, snakes, bears (solar type ;)) . . .
