Makes me feel better
Reading all the crash stories with similar injuries is encouraging as everyone has gotten back on their bikes. I’m itching to return after my recovery from my accident ten days ago

I'm one of those weird really lucky people. Never had a crash I couldn't ride away from. One close one: I'd just finished a long fast technical descent, rode over RR tracks on the next flat, realized that the weld on my alu stem had failed. Bars didn't quite fall off. Made it back the last 20 miles OK. This was maybe 20 years ago, threaded headset.

Never let anyone tell you what to do, get up and hop on that saddle if you feel like you're able to!
