My sympathies!
I've hit the pavement a handful of times, but was fortunate to fall on my side. Usually some road rash on a hip or forearm, but that was about it. Breaking a bone raises the severity another level!

If it's any consolation, it can be worse. A buddy in Des Moines was commuting on the local trail when he hit a muddy patch. I'm not sure what exactly happened, but he ended up breaking a femur... ouch!
He is now the owner of a titanium femur. Not sure what the rehab is like for that sort of thing.

Best wishes for the recovery.
