Well I'm on the mend. Never been even remotely close to this fucked up from an injury. I've got a long way to go.
Turns out it was 5 ribs and a clavicle after further review of the images. Basically crushed the left side of my body to oblivion.
Glad to be alive. Glad I had a bucket on as it was completely destroyed. Never riding without one again.
The more I go over the events in my head the more I realize how close I was to being much worse off.
Ride safe everyone and wear a lid. 40 years of serious cycling experience. I thought I could predict risk.
Thankful every day to be alive and neurologically intact.
