ERT and Ambulance

As the first few co-workers rolled up some went straight to the work and a few came right to me immediately realizing something was terribly wrong, I believe I was already going into some form of shock. To protect the people I worked with and for other reasons I will not name them here in this blog, I'm sure you will understand. One of the girls working with me grabbed on to me asking if she needed to call a "Code Blue" (for those of you who don't know what this is, this is so that when an injury occurs any employee can call over the PA system to the entire warehouse a "code blue" and where in the building it is, so that ERT- emergency response team members can quickly get o the area and the person), I begged her not to telling her someone had already run for help. You may be asking why I begged her not to call in such a sever situation...well, in our warehouse the call for a code blue brings out the nosies and I knew I was in real trouble and I needed help not a ton of looky-lous hoovering about to get a fresh rumor to talk about.
As I was waiting for the Calvary of help to arrive "R" stayed with me, she tried to help me move to sit but was unsuccessful as I couldn't walk. Just as the team of ERT members came speeding up in a maintenance vehicle "R" started to notice that I was shaking uncontrollably and she was starting to have a hard time holding me up now, so the ERT took over. "RX" who had pretty much seen the accident or aftermath and ran for the help stayed just long enough to see I was going to be OK then went onto work. ERT members, "J", "T", and "JC" now had everything under control with the help of a close friend that was a part of maintenance, Greg. They swiftly lifted me onto the truck and speed me off to the ERT room and started splinting and icing my foot leaving my shoe on. I figure they left it on not knowing what they would find if they took it off.
Greg stayed as long as they would let him (which was nice on their part), as I was scared to death and they knew we were good friends (Greg's wife Michelle is one of my Best Friends, I had been in their wedding some years before), so I think they knew it helped to keep me somewhat calm as they were asking 1 million questions so they could fill out the accident forms and make the calls to my family and the ambulance.
"J" and "JC"  wrapped up and stayed threw most of the paperwork then were sent back out to work as was Greg, so know all that was left was me, "T", a supervisor who had come in and random loss prevention people who had to come in and out for different info. at this point we were just waiting for the squad to get there. When the squad arrived so did the police (I have no idea why, but they did), they all filed into the room asking all the same questions and by now the pain was beyond what I could handle so I did my best to answer. They strapped to the bed rolled me out placed in the ambulance and off we went for the hospital.
The guys on the squad were all volunteer and very nice, also tried there best to not hit too my bumps...however that didn't work out so well. As they looked down upon my foot they felt as though I probably wasn't going to have a great outcome just from what they could see even with the shoe on. From what they were saying the swelling was unreal and given the type of accident i shouldn't be surprised if I didn't break my foot...well GREAT!
Well only the X-rays and the Emergency Room visit would give me the answers...we were all shocked, I'm sure you will be too!
