Wow. Glad you're on the mend. Those were a couple of tough ones! My recent example was nowhere near your experiences, but I had to ride a short 3 miles home after a crash on Saturday. Luckily, no head strike, and I hit the ground in the grass and weeds along a greenbelt. I had to pick some goat-head thorns out of my shoulder and hip, but it could have been much worse. I was glad I started riding home soon after before the soreness kicked in. I was able to ride the next day, and it took about 10 miles before I started feeling decent.
Be safe everyone!
