the first time I was off the bike for an accident it took me 8 weeks to really heal and a year before I could ride down the road I had fallen on.

The second time, also with broken ribs, but no collapsed lung, it took 6 weeks.

The last time, again with broken ribs but on the other side, it took me 4 weeks and a lot of determination, but the memory of how hard the other times were was a great motivating factor.

Be well and go slowly but not so much as to hold yourself back.
