Here's the thing: I get that you want to protect her from harm, and you may think you're responsible for everything (being the man and all), but there's a good chance she's tougher than you are (I know I couldn't handle childbirth as well as my wife did). Show her the same respect you'd give any of your riding buddies and talk about the accident openly.
your right. though we dont have any kids yet im sure her pain tolerance is higher than mine.

This remembers me a friend in LA that everytime we talk he have had a broken bone in a ride and the worse is that had been in the most stupid accidents ever like falling from a stand still or going 5 mph and somebody crash him and stuff.
U have to be strong and in the PT if it hurts u have to just make her do the stuff, u feel guilty and i hope the accident was not your fault. Things happen and she has to get up, suck the pain off and continue u know... thing that for sure u know...
Good luck again
Im a little curious how the PT is going to go. I wonder if it's similar to the PT I had to go through when I jacked up my knee a couple of years ago. one good thing is that she's a lot more fit than she was and shes not overweight so i'm hoping that will help PT.

im sure she can joke w/ them now. i would assume they would give her paperwork to show ?
