Feel better! Just 3 months and 28 days til the 2008 LRRH!
I'm glad you and your bike both made it without much damage.

Ouchie! Glad you seem to be on the road to recovery already. You were lucky not to end up with any broken bones! I went down hard on my right side a couple of years ago (dog accident), and ended up breaking my pelvis in three places and required surgery and a big ole plate and 4 pins to put it all back together. You were very lucky!
As others have said, if you hit your head, do invest in a new helmet. They are designed for one crash only.
Emily, who has been through three helmets in the past three years!

Here's to quick healing for you, Auntie. Don't worry about the clothes, that's just money(from the woman whom BEGGED the docs in the ER to not cut my sidis off).
It is hard to buy new skin, and Nashbar.com NEVER has it on sale. Trust me, I've looked. Sounds like you were smart in the first place wearing good gear. Take care of you. D
