Sorry to hear about your fall. I can commiscerate, since I had an episode of non-invulnerability in 2005. Doing a charity 50 mile ride, near the end, the lady I met that morning T-boned me going around a corner, and I went over the embankment--about 10 feet over, and 10feet down, before landing on my left shoulder. Broke the collarbone, shoulder blade, glenoid neck (shoulder joint), a couple ribs, and punctured my left lung. Of course, after the initial shock, I was worried about my bike, so I went over to it, and leaned over to check it, and almost passed out! That's when I knew I was really hurt. Get to the critical care facility, and fixed up as best they could--took three months off work to start healing. About four months before I could get on my bike (which was hardly hurt).

Here's hoping you heal faster, and can be back in the saddle sooner.
