I've broken my eye socket, cheek bone and jaw. I got 6 stitches under my eye, which is a PB. My previous stitch count best was 4. My knees are pretty chewed up.
I'll be off the bike for a while, and even found myself thinking, as I was laying in the ER, I'm not sure this is worth it.
I was riding with Brian, who was incredibly helpful. He took a no nonsense approach to the crash. He didn't ask any question, and had the cops and an ambulance there in just a couple of minutes. Brian was very reassuring, calm and wise in everything he did. There were several people who stopped their cars, and came over with first aid kits and helped me. Brian also made sure my bike was safe and secure.
My daughter and even my ex came and picked me up and took me home after my 6 hour stay in the ER. My daughter stayed with me for awhile making sure I was safe and secure. She left a little after 2AM.
I'm sore. It actually looks worse this morning. I need to get some ice on my eye.

Sorry to hear about your wreck, heal up quick!
I can't imagine it looking worse!
Ride with me when you are healed. I suspect the thought you had (as to whether or not it's worth it) is as much or more of an "injury" as the broken bones and the other physical stuff.
Please tell me they weren't the flowers I told you about that hang over the rail near the pond (close to hwy 101)! I suppose I won't be sending you any flowers ;-)
Seriously, I'm so sorry to hear about your crash.
Ouch man! Hope you're better soon! I guess instead of stopping to smell the roses, the roses stopped you!
Get better Tommy. We'll see you out again soon
OH MY!!!! Dude, I'm glad you up and walking. That's the blackest eye I've seen besides my own!
Heal quickly! I hope your eye is okay.
Ouch!!! Again, if you need someone to run to the store, let me know. I'll be running around our neighborhood all weekend long.
