How long to recover

I'm wondering how long it's going to take to recover from a crash.

I'm in my northern 50's now.

I injured my left shoulder, left leg, and hit so hard, I lascerated my kidney. I wear helmets always, and it did its job. I hit head first and did not lose consciousness.

My injuries are all muscle and tendon/ligament related. Very black and blue. Very sore.

30 years ago, I'd have ridden this past weekend, after a week of healing.

I think now I'll hit the gym each morning and ride the stationary recumbent for the next week or two, and venture out on the road mid-June.

Any experiences with healing?
Any tips? I eat ok, and drink plenty of water.
