Go-Kart crash July 18th/09

[Ruffuss]

As many of you know I had quite a crash while racing karts at Formula K 7/18/09. I went in and got checked the next day. Nothing showed on the X-ray. And the Dr. says your back is sore(No sh!t Sherlock) Missed a weeks work and worked with pain for the next couple of weeks. Then got laid off for a Month(A good thing).Well fast forward to 2 weeks ago, still having trouble with my back I went in for a check up and another x-ray and this one comes back that I may/ probably had fractured the third vertebra from the pelvis. Anyway at one time I broke my back. I've always had trouble with my back since I was a kid. So weather I did it this summer or not, no more riding karts for me. Dr. says I can still ride in and drive buggys as long as I have support for my back aka back brace. Try not to jump or hit hard and keep strapped in tight to the seat. I didn't tell him I drive a lumber wagon aka Ruffuss. So be careful ya all. I still plan on setting up next years July event GTG at formula K. Just have too watch, no racing for me.

Man Kenn that sucks! I feel terrible that this happened. I guess you'll have to start teaching TJ to take your place and cheer him on from the pits.

Kenn, sounds like you were fortunate you were forced to slow down after the accident. Now, make sure you listen to the doctor!

Sorry to hear this is still an issue for you Kenn. Will it improve from here? What is the next step in recovery?
