Driver Saw Me, Then Hit Me

Today I got my stitches removed. I'm having a lot of dizziness and the headaches are starting to be pretty intense... but overall, I feel pretty good.
The doctor thinks I dislocated my shoulder and popped it back in during the accident. Check out the bruises on my left arm. Yuck. I can't use that arm very much yet.

A dad of one of the racers took photos at the scene. (The car, the driver, me all bleeding.. )
You can see them here:

I have hired a lawyer. I explained that I don't want to bleed anyone dry, I just want my bills covered and my equipment replaced... The plastic surgeon doesn't want to see me for six months... so we'll need to estimate that in as well... assuming the insurance company wants to settle before then.

That's all for now I think.

Thanks again for all your well wishes!!!

How scary . . . glad you're "okay" and hope you continue to heal. Hope the headaches & dizziness go away soon, and you start to feel like your old self!

Hope you're feeling better. Makes my minor post-ride discomfort look like nothing. Impressive sums it up. And you're poor bike. Hope the driver, or his insurance, coughs up the money so you can get a new one (+ your medical expenses). Maybe he ought to trade in his car for a bike.
