I should be back to normal in about 4-6 weeks. The scar is healing nicely (on my right forehead, 18 stitches) and all my doctors were really impressed - I guess, I was lucky to have an ER doctor who did a really great job with stitching me up.
I'll hopefully be able to go back to college next week- three weeks of bed rest are more than enough- it's really getting boring. I tried to go back this week and failed miserably- so I guess you should listen to your doctor most of the times ;-)
Thanks to Leana, my accident or rather the minutes after the accident have been documented. Not my most gracious pictures, but quite impressive:

Did you get your new cycling jersey yet?
I hope your rehab continues to go well!
Let me know how I can help, errr.... 6000 miles away.
love,

That looks like it really hurt, glad you are making progress on the rehab. I know it will go slower than you expect. Just don't rush it, you need to give yourself a chance to heal. Pretty soon you'll be back on the bike... btw, did it survive the crash?

Maybe something worthwhile in there.
Get well.
