first aid reccomended by the xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A: This is for airway - check that the animal is able to breathe freely, check mouth for any obstruction. Listen for gurgling or other signs of repiratory distress. Are there any facial fractures which may impede breathing, any blood from nose or mouth? Remove any obstruction if you can do so without harm to the tortoise. If the shell is broken and any lung tissue protruding, apply a sterile Jelonet (sterile parafin gauze)dressing and bandage closed until you can reach veterinary help. This will prevent further contamination of the wound.

B is for bleeding, are there any signs of major blood loss, stop any serious bleeding immediately using pressure. If any major loss has occurred the animal will need IV fluid replacement, get veterinary assistance as soon as possible. Keep the tortoise warm and quiet until you can get help.

C is for consciousness, is the patient alert and responsive? At this point you will more than likely need to mimimize shock. Place the animal in a box lined with any soft material - shredded newspaper is fine in an emergency. Keep him warm and quiet while you obtain help, this will minimize stress and prevent further shock.

EDIT: brilliant news about her waking up
I remember that feeling when mine did it after being lost :P
