First, I hope you can have your wife read these postings to you--follow your physician's advice, which generally is no screen time or reading for a week or so.

Second, you will be back in the saddle again, but not for a little while. I had a similar incident--winged by a wing mirror, ~15-20 minutes of missing memory, cracked helmet and busted wrist. Apparently, I kept asking the first responders if my bike was okay! No memory until I arrived at hospital.

Recovery took a few weeks. Some symptoms were slow to develop but eventually resolved. These included fatigue after minimal exertion (first couple of weeks) and a bit of vertigo.

Take it easy, and get back to us in a few weeks when you start assessing your bike!
