Did you go over the bars? Off to the right side? What part of you made impact first and with what, pavement? How do you remember the following sequence of impacts taking place if you even can? Were you able to try to tuck and roll? How's the helmet? Do you know how fast the driver was going? I can only assume the mirror made full contact (rather than being clipped by a small portion of it) and that you were launched as badly messed up as you are. I'm just really curious of the details, I live in the country and ride solo with those duallys on narrow highways constantly (skimmed by 5+ just today in 35ish miles). Screw my times, I'd rather stop in the dirt for a second if I hear/see one coming.
Heal well!

I too know those horse-trailer pullin' dually's well. They tend to give me a very wide berth but man, if they didn't... don't have a bike lane on my rides and generally folks swing very wide.

Thank you for understanding why I have not answered these questions.
Today I had my catheter removed, and I'm just waiting to fart. Farting is a signal that my digestive tract if functioning, and ready for me to eat food again.

This is one of the few times in your life that you'll receive praise and at-a-boys for a good fart. The nurses will cheer you on. Make sure the room is quiet so they can hear it. Fart away.

Pray for a loud smelly one, then with your best Urkel voice, chime in with,
"Did I do that?"
Here's to a speedy recover.
