I feel your pain, having been right-hooked last summer with a subsequent endo/face plant/broken wrist/cracked ribs/broken helmet while riding home for lunch. The driver, in my case, didn't stop. I limped over to a fire station a couple of blocks away for treatment.
I've had four near-miss right-hooks at that same intersection so far this year.
I have also added daytime running lights, brake light and turn signals to the bike and wear a blaze orange vest to make me more visible. This way, the next time somebody hits me, they can't say they didn't see me.
Get better soon.
