Recovery from trauma and injury is a process of time. Don't beat yourself up for the emotion of the flashback. I'm impressed that you're resolving to "push through" past this.
I'm really sorry you had the experience. Hopefully, it will become part of the recovery...

You will heal. I have caught myself on my shorts a couple of times, and like you, those shorts got thrown out instantly.

OUCH
That made my leg hurt just reading it. That can really shake a person up. I'm glad to hear you got back in the saddle again though. It takes time.

EEK!! Glad you saved yourself from anything worse this time around, but I can't imagine how you must've felt as you were falling! Now that the cursed shorts are gone I'm sure your rides will all go wonderfully.

I know I would have shed a lot of tears in that situation! So glad you were able to get back on the bike and make it home. Hope things will look better after a good rest...

I think the psychological traumas take a lot longer to heal than the physical ones, as serious as a broken back is. Be kind to yourself. The fact that you got on your bike and road home is a testament to how mentally strong you are, as well as physically.
You're my hero today!
