Wow!
Could have been much worse.
Yeah those boards are terrible. I was on one once and I felt like I was gonna slide off it on my journey to the hospital. *And* it was this really horrible shade of orange. I am real sensitive to colour and in extreme circumstances even more so - I nearly went nuts.
Thoughts and prayers your way.
All you need is time now

Ladyjai, healing thoughts and prayers headed your way. I'm so glad that you're ok. I've nearly had this sort of thing happen to me many a time on my bike commute to and from work. Hopefully you'll be riding again soon.

From one bike commuter to another: it sounds like your angel was flying faster than you were riding! Thank goodness eh?! I'm glad to hear you're ok, the bike is ok and the medics took it with you. That is my one fear, the day my clock gets punched no one will bring the bike with me and I won't leave it there. LOL Heal well and take your time healing, the road and the bike will always be there for you!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
