Sounds painful. Elbows are like knees... and the mafia doesn't choose knees for no reason.
Here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery.

And I'll reiterate the helmet thang...

About 3 years ago I was night riding, (full lighting of course - but still it's not like seeing in the day) and I went to turn from a road, to a MUP along the beach at around 15mph, and misjudged where the cut-out was in the curb.

I immediately went right over the handlebars, HARD. Messed up my left shoulder for a week or so, and cracked the inside foam of the helmet into 1/3rds. Even with the helmet, I saw stars (real flashing bright lights! Just like in the cartoons!) and was dazed for (what I think was) about 30 seconds.
