Heal quickly Anthony! I'm glad you'll recover to ride again.
I had one real crash a couple years after I started riding. It was not as severe as yours, but it did require a couple visits to the hospital, and it changed the way I ride for the rest of my life. It happened because I was looking in my mirror too long and assuming everything ahead was fine. Now, about 43 years later, when I look in a mirror more than about half a second or do anything else to take my attention off what's going on around me, an alarm goes off in my head and my focus goes back where it should be. I won't mount a GPS display on the handlebar either... that goes in my tail bag and I stop to look at it.
Use what you learned to become a better rider.
