I'm so sorry about your accidents and hope you get better soon.
Yeah. The bike gods are against me cycling at the moment so I know how you feel. My legs are a wreck right now and yesterday I pulled something behind my knee while racing my son uphill. If it wasn't for the truck coming down the side road, I would have won for the first time. At least now I know I can hit 15mph (that's fast for me as it's usually less than 10 with me gasping) going UP a hill on my Madone with ease..LOL. Maybe I'm meant to be a sprinter instead of going long distances? I had no idea I had a rocket under me. I still almost fell off when I made it into the driveway and scraped my thigh on the gears..again. I'd even loosened the clipless pedals to make it easier.
I nearly fell off my 29er trying to a basic wheelie and now my back/upper shoulder aches. Yup. The bike gods truly hate me. Yet today I was at a LBS drooling over a Surly Pugsley. I came home with a Brooks B17 instead to see how it felt over the narrow one on my Madone and put it on my Specialized Sirrus.
Hang in there, take it easy and let yourself heal up.
