July 20, 2003 I got hit by a truck and nearly died while cycling in Colorado. Spent eight days is the hospital and had to use a walker and cane for four months. When my parents were driving by truck home from Colorado it caught on fire and burnt to the ground. The three surgeries I had in Colorado didn?t work so I had to have a titanium plate removed from my jaw and have my jaw rebroken six weeks ago. Last week, my girlfriend of three years gave me the boot. This morning my new road bike, shoes and helmet were stolen from my garage. When it rains it pours.
