Best wishes recovery to you. I remember it didn't hurt much unless I moved 
Worst was when I got home from the hospital (my buddies took me there and home) my wife looked at me and said "You Fu$%&*king idiot" and went to the bedroom and locked the door. Left me alone in the family room to sleep sitting up in a lazy boy (I could not lay down anyway). Lots of time to think, filed for divorce 3 months later.
So while the crash hurt on many levels. I'm a better man and have no regrets. New wife, fixed bike, and a bit more wiser (damm ribs still hurt once in a while).
Take care. Once the bones set the pain reduces.

Oh geez, this is funny! Hopefully, it was you who filed and dumped the broad or as I read it, The Princess (stupid, stupid selfish girls, in other words) ! But, this thread is about Owen. I sincerely hope you heal and get back on the two wheeler. We know when we start out anything can happen, and in your case it happened, so, as everyone above as stated, chump it up, heal and then get back into the saddle.
