Thank you so much for all of the well wishes and information. It'll take me a while to go through all of it.

I'm happy to report that this morning I made my own breakfast (toast with peanut butter) and even rinsed the dishes then put them in the dishwasher. I also brushed my own hair after a shower. I figure all of this is a good indication of my increasing independence. Not close to driving yet, which means my mom is driving me to a doctors appointment today (unrelated to accident), but I'm hopeful I'll be okay to drive in another week or so.

I have a follow up phone appointment with my primary care physician on Monday as well as an appointment to have the staples removed (one is missing... probably pulled out from trying to brush out my hair). I start physical therapy on the 18th.

My friend sent some photos of my damaged bike and I have a few of the helmet. I'm posting a link instead of posting directly here because the helmet ones are a bit disturbing.
