Thanks Gary, appreciate it. Still early on, but hoping to slowly get back to the training as the body allows.

"will post the video once I get the call clear to do so"

"Let me know if you have any follow up questions."

Hi there BW_Tri

Does this mean you had a bike-mounted camera?

Which one do you use? I was thinking about getting one so I have evidence in cases like this.

Thanks

IThe police then arrived, breatherlized (she passed, it was 11am) her and took a statement from her.

Well my biggest concern was the driver fleeing the scene, and I was very adamant to all the bystanders to stop them from leaving.

Hi Eric-
Well my biggest concern was the driver fleeing the scene, and I was very adamant to all the bystanders to stop them from leaving.
I haven't had any interaction with the driver at all, I don't recall any interaction with them at the scene, other than laying on the ground right after getting hit and yelling profanities at them of "What the F* were you thinking? What the F* were you doing? How the F* did you not see me?" (or something along those lines, will post the video once I get the call clear to do so). I then laid on the sidewalk / front outdoor seating area of a cafe until my wife arrived (it happened 5mins into my ride, and she beat the cops there). The police then arrived, breatherlized (she passed, it was 11am) her and took a statement from her. My wife and the police both say she was really shaken up from it all.
I am a pansy when it comes to pain, I mean I have "crashed" at under 5mph and landed on my ass, but it took me ~20mins to recover from the shock of it before I was able to continue the rest of the ride. I was lightheaded and nauseous the whole time at the scene and then for ~24hrs after, needed help in/out of the car as well. They gave me liquid morphine at the hospital and then onto codeine and still on that.
I will recap all of this eventually, and plan to cover the recovery progress and what I do along that road on a weekly basis probably. I think/assume, I am going to have a lot more free time over the next 4-6 weeks and I just need to stay "busy" to keep positive and not sit around and have pity on myself (which as of now, I don't, because I know it could have been so much worse).
Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

2. Did the police do a breath test on the driver??? And why the f*** did they test your wife,

I am fairly confident the police gave the test to the driver and not his wife.

Chin is up, made it 40mins on Zwift tonight at a whopping 90W, sitting up with no hands on the bars as that left hand on the bar leaning forward is painful.

1. I can't remember, I was in shock the whole time, like I mentioned I handle pain like a pansy ;) I think she came over to check on me, and probably said sorry? Hasn't followed up since the accident.
2. They did it on the driver, SHE passed, I did ask that when they came and took my statement at the hospital. I was NOT given a breathalyzer. There may have been a few occasions many years ago when my hangover may have been so bad that I may not have passed at 11am in the morning? But that was many many years ago, when I was young, dumb, and very new to the sport.
3. Sorry, left radial head. Near the elbow area. Very limited strength in my left arm, and limited range of motion. Can do a bit with it, but some stuff is extremely painful. For example, I can't even put on my own socks!?!?! I had fractured/cracked my right radial head back in 2009 so was familiar with what the restrictions were going to be there, but the collar bone is a whole new experience, one I wish upon no one.
