Still sounds like you're pretty badly hurt, so I wish you a speedy and full recovery.
Thanks David.
Lost cell phone, palm pilot and monopod. Kept life. Pretty good deal. More carnage pictures here http://home.golden.net/~fraserg/carnage
I'm really impressed by the degree of shredding and distortion of all the sheet metal -- and the underlying stability of the frame, apparently. The wheels are all on their proper corners, pointing roughly the right direction (within 15 degrees or so), the muffler seems to be in its proper place, the front and back seem to be about the same width, etc.
Witnesses said that after rear-ending my car, the truck drove over me and dragged my car under the cab of the truck for a while. Then the emergency people spent half an hour cutting me out of the car so I don't know how their work affected the end result but it looks like they peeled the roof off me. The headrest on my seat was bent forward so the roof must have been far flatter originally.
