OUchie! Ouchie!
(((((((((jenn))))))))) Take care of yourself!
I mistook a curb for a flat peice of ground a while back & the headache didn't go away for three days.
Please ensure if you're not feeling well to watch for any serious symptoms & go to the doctor if need be.

Jenn, sure glad you are ok. Do you know if the van driver got cited? Will you be able to recover your medical costs?
Thank goodness for the helmet. Don't forget to get a new one.

I am so glad you were not hurt even worse.
Do not even think about your bike right now. Most people would be freaked out, you have hust been in a dreadful accident. 
Focus on resting and taking care of you. Sending healing prayers your way.

Thank goodness for helmets. I hope you got the name of the person who hit you. What did he do after this accident. Did you call the police. Make sure he pays for you medical bill.

Jenn...I am sending healing thoughts your way. I just sit here a shake my head about the van. Things like this get me real angry and I better stop at that.
Just rest, take the time to heal. I have also been through a crash and fractured my shoulder a year and a half ago. I am sure you will get back on the bike, you will just take it slow as that is what I did. I was a cautious rider before, but even more so now it seems.

Geez Jenn!!
Glad you're ok and I hope your headache has subsided.
My Honey (who has been riding to the UI for 15+ years) told me to grow a second set of eyes when I'm on university bike paths, the guys from the facilities department ALWAYS drive on them and sort of laugh when riders have to bail off to the side to avoid being hit.
