I'm sending healing wishes to you and your boyfriend. It sounds like he was really lucky.

It's OK to follow your instincts and switch to driving to work for a while. I believe that the fear of riding on your commute roads will ease after a bit, but you certainly do need to listen to yourself. I can tell you from experience that it is possible to get back on your bike again and to ride without fear. It may not seem like it now, but give yourself time.
