My first outdoor ride back I almost got hooked like that. My heart rate goes up noticeably every time a driver is stupid in my vicinity now.
I really struggle with putting myself in the line of fire for a left turn, but I know it is something I need to get over.
You just never know when the car behind you is operated by an idiot with your name on it.

Broken clavicle and sprained A/C joint crashing on gravel June 18th followed by one month of nothing (bone ends grinding hurt) and another month inside at my 7 hour/week trainer patience limit.
I'm still not getting within 10% of the power I was making, just got back to 200 mile weeks, and need a rest week in three not one of four.
I'm back to the same weight, but have a bit more fat and a bit less muscle.

Some good alternatives to ibuprofen if you have inflammation/chronic pain like I do:
Hops extract called Perluxan, which is a natural COX inhibitor, but COX 1, not COX 2 like ibuprofen, so it doesn't kill your stomach and liver.
Apres Flex, which is a 5 LOX inhibitor. It's basically Indian boswellia extract.

AC separation ie clavicle detachment. not bad enough to need surgery but bad enough to prevent cross season entirely (could not pick up 5 pounds, let alone a bike).
that was labor day. still hurts, still can't do pushups and pullups
back to road biking but less hours and stem flipped up

On monday i had a Hog cross my path while it was drizling, braked hard and went down on my left thigh. Back on bike today and can't imagine you guys injuries compared to mine.
