30 mph!!!
you are one lucky lady!!!
Rest, rest and more rest. Let people love you and help you. They *like* to do it; so it is not an imposition or an admission of weakness or lack of independence.

Advice from personal experience:
Take the pain meds, Silver.
There are a zillion-ba-jillion kinds and one will suit you.
Pain just depletes our personal resources that are needed for getting well.

Good for your DH to post this

Oh, no. Sounds like a heck of a crash. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

30 MPH!! I'm so glad you weren't hurt worse than you are. Thankfully the helmet took the biggest blow to your head too! It was such a pleasure to have met you during the Hilly and I know you were nervous about riding after having ridden with the fellow who was killed on a ride. Please take care of yourself, take you pain killers (they ARE your friend, when you sleep your body heals) and when you are ready and totally healed, don't let this scare you off the bike. (((((gentle hugs))))))
Thank you so much Silver's DH for letting us know about her accident. (((((((Hugs for DH too)))))))) You hang in there, I know that had have been quite a scare for you too.

OMG, I'm just seeing this now--poor Silver--so sorry! I'm glad to hear you weren't hurt any worse, though. Keep your wounds slathered in something like Neosporin, so they'll heal faster and less chance of scarring. Sounds like you've got one terrific guy taking care of you (not to mention one terrific surprise to come home to.)

Sending hugs and compassionate, healing thoughts your way.

Silver - so sorry to hear this news. Seems like there have been so many crashes among TE gals this year. I had my big crash (fractured pelvis in 3 places, surgery) last year, so I can unfortunately relate to what you're going through and will continue to go through during your recovery for some time to come. However, I'll also say that I'm back to running, hiking, and riding (mountain more than road) now, and I appreciate what my body can do so much more than I did before I ever crashed and went through months of not being able to do much at all. I remember thinking "Will I ever be able to power walk again?" And now I'm running! Really puts things into perspective and helps you feel grateful for life itself.

You'll be in my thoughts. Be good to yourself and take all the time you need to come back.
