I rowed 5k yesterday as a little test to see how I was doing, and after that I was convinced I should get checked out. Xrays came back fine. Nothing looked broken.
I appreciate the kind words. I definitely feel fortunate that it happened how it did. If it had been someone else with a passenger, or a less sturdy person who didn't know not to brace for the impact, it could have turned out much worse.
The unsettling part is that there really wasn't any time to do anything about it. Still being alive is pure luck, being completely uninjured is good fortune I can't even wrap my mind around. Not to sound trite, but all I can say is make sure you don't put off living the life you want for yourself.
BTW... Some of those cans were in a bag in my trunk. I was going to recycle them. My toolbox and spare tire knocked the rear seats forward, and they weren't the kind designed for trunk access.
