OWIE!!!
I'm so glad you're okay. Haven't had a crash yet (in my short cycling career) and SO hope not to ... EVER!
And I'm completely impressed that you changed your own tire after that ... for the first time even. I'd be calling DH and/or another cycling buddy of ours! I don't even know how to change a tire yet, but I have the stuff to do it if someone ELSE does!

I just learned how to change a tire after going to a clinic at an LBS...I've always had the stuff on me, but never really knew what to do...and I had been lucky enough not to have a flat.

Today, before I took off on my ride, I almost took off my seat bag (which has my tube, etc in it) because I was carrying my purse/lock in a backpack. Then I realized I wouldn't have the tube, etc stuff and put it back on. Thank goodness!2007 Trek 5000

Good luck on changing that tire, glad that you decided not to throw in the towel on that ride..they say, once you've fallen, get back up and continue to ride. Hope you heal without any problems.
