Sorry to hear that mishap. Had many 'near misses' but never got hurt. Not even scratches. Still not wearing a helmet.
Had a very badly broken upper arm/shoulder though by industrial accident, while doing everything by the book, following any fucking rule, protective shoes, helmet, reflective clothing. But something weighing a few 100 tons tore free and gave me a fast kick. Shit happens. Had only 7 screws and a plate in, for about 10 years. Limited movement only, and pain. Now an endoprosthetic like an artificial hip joint, but for the shoulder. Full (and fast) movement and load-bearing again, no pain. Can do pushups and pullups.
I'm telling this because doctors initially said that I had to suck it up, that there wouldn't be a better outcome with endoprosthetics. Some decade later, somewhere else, they looked at and into it, asking me If I'd be crazy? 'That stuff has to go out!' Me: 'R u sure? I've been told...'
They: 'Forget that! That's all wrong!'
Now there may have been some progress in surgical procedures and endoprosthetics fur upper arm and shoulder joint in that decade, but not that much. I also opted out of robodoc, and had it done by an old and experienced surgeon by hand.
Watch out for medical misinfo and get well. HTH
