Here's to wishing you a speedy recovery!
I had a chance to talk with the guy that was in the approaching vehicle today. I asked if he saw me crash. In his words, "You weren't looking where you were going!"
He was right, I should have not looked away (the vehicle was far enough away that I wasn't in danger from it) while negotiating the narrow gap.
Recovery is going well, stitches come out tomorrow. I have a nasty bruise at the intersection of leg and pelvis which still hurts and a funny lump in my right forearm, but the other scrapes are healing nicely.
