Wow, fish I am so glad you are okay. On the few occasions that I have crashed I always feel worse the day after the crash and the day after that. Expect to be tired and sore for a few days. Road rash hurts like crazy I found these bandages http://www.drugstore.com/products/pr...Y-PLST-0-BRAND kinda of create a bubble over the road rash and I could even lean on my elbows while I was wearing them. The thing is you need to put them on before the road rash drys out.
I agree with everyone else about your helmet it needs to be replaced. Is it still under warranty?
I hope you are out riding again soon and am sending speedy healing thoughts your way.
