FIRST PERSON/OPINION Via e-mail: Thanks for posting the info about our crash and the race cancellation. Here’s the latest for your inquiring mind. The good news is we are home. Sheri’s knee is sore where they did the surgery and other than puttering around like she shouldn’t be, she seems to be feeling pretty good. I guess it will take a little longer for me. According to the doctor my back was broken (compressed fractures) in two for sure and possibly three places in the lower to mid spine area. I know one thing, it hurts like hell and it’s really colorful (black, purple, yellow, etc.). I have 6-7 fractured ribs and severe bruising to my lungs which makes it kind of hard to breathe. But between a COLD BUDWEISER and the Vicodin, it’s starting feel a little better. As to what actually happened, there are a couple of senarios but everything happened so fast we will probably never really know.
