Am I too stretched out on my road bike?

I agree with the comments that your seat looks too far back, but it could be an optical illusion depending on photo angle. But, depending on the STA of the bike, you may need the saddle in a different place on different bikes. What I noticed looking at this pic, and remembering pics you posted previously of you on your friday and Aegis, is that you are definitely riding more upright now than then, and your elbows are now locked. I don't know if that is due to your accident shifting your position, or you are just used to riding mountain and city bikes in recent years. You do want a bit more bend in your elbows. the things you can do to get there, are to bend a bit lower (looks like your back is making a ~50 degree angle, try a ~45 like i think u used to have), use a shorter stem or shorter reach bars, push the saddle more forward (assuming that still gives u the KOP relationship you want). But I also noticed that you started the post by saying 'your husband noticed you are too stretched out' not that you are uncomfortable. So if you feel comfortable and powerful, then all is good. Just curious if you are still riding your friday? I thought u loved it as an all purpose road bike and it fit you like a glove.
