July 4th 2008 - I was run over by a Water Truck!

Well it all started for me around July 4Th, A friend of mine had asked me to help him with a web site for his race track. Its a Dirt track in Lexington TN called West Tennessee Motor Speedway. I took my son and grandson with me that evening. As I was walking through the pits I stepped to take a snap shot of this guy on a four wheeler that was handing out free ice water to the drivers and crews. He was with Racers for Christ I believe. Anyways I turned around and stepped back and started to take the shot. Just then the water truck came by with his booms still out and one of them caught my back. It bowed back and back and back until it finally snapped back slinging me like a bow and arrow. I went up in the air and landed on my back and shoulder. Now let me mention this , it was no small feat doing that as I was around 360 pounds or so. Now at present day i"m at 322. The cancer I have is making me loose weight. This is when I first noticed any pain. The day after the accident at the track. I didn't think much of it at the time so i thought it was just a sprain or bruise.
