There's alot more to recovering from an injury than the bones healing up. After my big crash, it was a month before I could look at a bike, and then six more of very slow riding. Not to mention that I wasn't able to form complete sentences for months, too!

It's essential that you ask your doctor about an inhaler. Asthma is nothing to kid around with. My experience with asthma was quite bad. It was induced by molds (in my apartment at the time), exercise (particularly in cold weather), and stress (at work and at home--I had alot!) When I moved into a house with wood floors and no carpets to mold, it got alot better, but the stress was still there. Then I had all sorts of life changes and I haven't had asthma attacks for a few years but I still have my inhaler.

Ask your doctor about the emotional part of recovery. Perhaps a counselor who is experienced with post-injury work would be quite helpful. Fear is a huge factor and often manifests in physical pain and stress.
