PG17,

I happened to be leaning on the side of the truck when he collided with the trailor hitch. The whole vehicle shook! I knew this wasn't just your average stroll into a protruding, hard metal object (at shin height). As John was still trying to regain his poise, shin bone throbbing, in an almost Three Stooges moment, he just about leaned onto this nearby tree. Kalopanax picta. The bad news would've been a new injury. The good news would've been it might've taken his mind off his leg.
