Arnica is good for dealing with bruises. Ointment or pills.
Oh no! How are you doing today? Hope your son is ok too, that must have been quite hard for him, and well done to him for his calmness and presence of mind.
I hope you are feeling better, having been knocked off my bike 6 months ago, I know it's a difficult time, so I'd advocate doing something totally different to ocupy your mind.
You obliviously taught him lives priorities 👍I was so impressed! He even stopped my Strava 🤣
@Hebe Thank you for asking. I'm still very sore but I'm doing okay. Grateful for good painkillers and slightly nervous how I'll cycle 1000km in two months' time but not panicking for now. I find myself increasingly just very grateful it was no worse.

You'll be fine.
When you can walk without pain you'll find cycling even easier.
Some encouragement: I was knocked off six weeks before doing the Marmotte, having suffered very similar injuries to you, plus concussion. Two weeks after the crash I was OK to cycle again and thought I had no chance of making the event, being exhausted after 30 minutes on the flat. But after that first ride I improved really quickly and the event went perfectly. You can do it!
And at risk of repeating myself, given the extensive pain, limits to your activities and time off work you will be entitled to considerable compensation if you pursue a claim.
