Thanks for the well wishes all (and the cards from some).
The past month has been pretty terrible and the accident was made worse by the fact that it was one of the only times I've not worn a helmet in recent times (something I feel dumbfounded by - I won't ever be able to come to terms with that decision so I'd ask for leeway from you guys on that for now).
Basically, I got nudged from the back by a car, this changed my direction and I went into the back of a parked flat back truck at over 30km/h (leading with my head, arm and headtube).
The damage to my body was pretty severe:
It's been a lesson for me in a number of ways and, after surgeries on my skull, brain and wrist, I'm now having to come to terms with what happened psychologically as well as focussing on rehabilitation physically.
Everyone's support through this really has gotten me through and continues to buoy me.
Pictures of arm and bike for a little context shortly.
Thanks again all and ride safe.
