oh Jenn! I almost couldn't click on your post in light of the stresses from dealing with my own recent crash. I can certainly relate to your pain, but the hardest part to read was how preventable your pain was--how unnecessary that kind of accident is. as cyclists we all take risks, but the thoughtlessness of others makes some of those risks very unforeseen and that is the really scary part.
getting back on the bicycle will be scarier for you, as you have the memory not only of pain from the crash but of distrust from the circumstance that caused it. remember to take it easy at first on low-traffic roads, rebuild your confidence--but above all right now focus on healing.
best wishes from another gimp!

{{I love ya'll{{ I lood kinda like "Elepnaht man" on my right side....MASSIVE road rash, all the way down to my ankels. I hurt when I walk, My pelvis, it's weird. My PCP treated the road rash....OMG...
Anyway, Thank you alll sooooo much. The LAST thing in this world is to be afraid of getting back on my bike!! It's carzy I'm hearing this pop and crack sound and it's the Peroixide cleaning things out............ ugh....
Thank goodeness I ddin't break anything.
I am definately doing to take some cycling defense courses. We looked at my helmet and it is cracked on the right side, that would explain the vision disturabances, and the holes from rocks....ugh.....I thank you all {{{{{HUGS}}} for the supprt....I'm fREAKING hurting. My mom came down to watch my 15 month daughter, and all I want to do is get on my Le Mond.

But, to SISTERS, I'll be back out ASAP....and I'm NOT going to quit!!!!!!!

So sorry to hear this. Take care of yourself, I wish you a speedy recovery.
(And a pretty new helmet).
The best part about going up hills is riding back down!
