Don't be shy about taking the time you need to heal - pain is exhausting, exhaustion can cause all kinds of other complications, and road rash is some of the most painful stuff out there since all it does is exposes all your nerve endings. (The most painful wound I ever had, by far, was one so shallow it didn't even bleed, just took the skin off down to the nerve endings - yow.)

Heal up quick!
Honey? I keep it at home too as I get it at our local farmer's market from locally harvested honey. Adds a touch to the phrase "licking your wounds?" huh?

Feeling pretty achey and sore today and I'm going for x-rays as soon as the requisition comes in. Deep breaths are tough and getting dressed took a long time.
