i was heading south on sante fe from 106th towards college blvd after work on monday at about 420 when i noticed the driver of a van looking south as he was inching forward to sante fe (pulling out of ups) so i started pressing both my front and rear brakes but he never looked in my direction before pulling out! i pulled harder on my brakes and my bike went down!! from this point i just remember the feeling of having the wind knocked out of me and taking of my helmet and laying down still trying to breathe! there were helpful people around immediately , a couple of nurse's actually, i love nurse's! ( my woman is in nursing school). then they started asking questions, one of which was: "do you know if you were ran over."  "i dont think so" was my response then i was asked if i passed out, with the same response. then i was told " witnesses saw the van hit you!" wow! i was thinking, i dont remember that! so i story we have from witness's  is that when the bike went down i tumbled a few times and went airborne upside down and backwards when the van hit me! so i am going to skip a little here and just let you know i am doing all i can to recover, i am extremely sore with fortunately not a whole lot of road rash! a cracked vertebrate, and internal bruising throughout all of my abdomen, chest and back ! my whole body is aching! but it could have been worse! there are a lot of faithful people around me, i will let you take that how ever you want everyone has their own view!!  well back to sleep for me know!! thank you all! and remember to wear the proper riding gear, this could have been a totally different story! audios! josh
