Glad to hear that you are OK! Hope everything heals up well and quickly!
Oh god, sure it hurts......I still remember the first time I had to brush off dirt and gravel with a brush, soap and water off my road rash back in college after a bad crash. It was the worst pain I ever felt till then. You pretty much are brushing on raw nerve endings.........and they made it look like it's no big thing when they show it in pics in cycling books....
