guys thanks for the kind words.... Prayers always welcome.... I believe in the power of prayer.....
I am on pretty tough narcotics and I have my left hand in a sling so my typing sucks more than usual.... My doorbell rang this morning and the police chief which is a good frinend of mine came by, he new there was a crash on Sat but didnt know it was me until this morning.. Gary and I went through Rookie schools together and spent a lot of time backing each other on the streets... As it turns out his son was right there an saw the whole thing unfold and he is having problems with it... I think that he is going to bring his son over to talk to my son who was there also and to let him talk to me abou the gear and things....
YOu guys have no idea how the support from this place makes me feel better... I know that there is nothing that any of you can do, but the reassuring words of kindness and support makes me feel not so alone...
I am going to get some pics this afternoon of the bike and I will put some pics up of the gear I was wearing... I did hear from witnesses yesterday that the top of the helmet hit the top edge of the window and that the jaw portion of the helmet is what went through the drivers window first. Then my legs came up and pulled my head back out of the window and I slid straight down the side of the truck.... I guess the driver got his nose whacked by my helmet and his face began bleeding, when I hit the ground the bike was standing up, I think the driver took his foot off the brakes and the truck rolled forward and the bike fell over on top of me... once again the gear protected me, there are burn marks on the jacket......
All and all, I wore the gear tha I preach to you all about and I can honestly say that I believe that it saved my life..... The ER docs told me that I was the third bike wreck of the day, I had the worst wreck, I had the highest risk for potential injury but I was in the best shape because I was geared up.... The other two are still in ICU, I'm home.... Even the people that stopped to help mentioned to the fire and rescue that I looked like I was going into battle because I had all the gear on.......
More to come later... Im falling asleep at the computer again....
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
