Wow so sorry this happened!
Hope you heal up fast with as little as pain as possible!
I've often thought when riding by myself and decide to quickly make a turn into a parking lot, road side etc.... I'm sure glad no one is riding with me they sure wouldn't be happy with me.
I've almost decided I need to ride like I'm driving a car pulling a trailer and be very careful where I pull off and where I try to turn around etc.

Lets all hope they overestimated the damage and recovery time will be short and painless after a few days.
You never know when something silly will bite you- I 'stubbed' my toe going up my stairs one morning to get ready for work. Hurt- but I got dressed and went to work.
Knew it was sore- but when I got home that night and took my sock off- my big toe was completely dark purple, swollen like a sausage and the purple was up into the main section of my foot a good ways. I guess it didn't appreciate being my clutch foot!! My wife immediately took me to the ER and I thought they were going to cut it off. They had me in a room and a LOT of workers kept coming in to see it. Ugh.
Last week my brother in law who lives in florida caught the edge of a curb and fell off his golf cart driving down the sidewalk in his community. Stopped the fall with his face, broke his hand and several ribs. He is still on some hard drugs for pain.
Did your jacket have elbow armor? I know it can only do so much, which is why I am curious.
Hope you heal up quick and are rolling soon!!!
So, you wrote this and went out and crashed your bike? Man, that sucks my friend! Please keep us posted on your status! Both of you!

Rest easy Ferret, so sorry to hear of your accident. Crazy that you got so banged up at walking speed in a parking lot. I’m sure you’ll be back sooner than the doctors say, if I know you...hang in there.

There's something so unthinkable about the Ferret falling off a motorcycle—I refuse to say anything about going down; that's different—that I almost can't believe it. But it's a salutary reminder to us all that we're only a ride away from the next off. I rode a kilometre or two today thing about you and PowerDubs. I wish you both the best for a speedy and comfortable recovery.

Yesterday I came back from the BRP to my house over a VERY curvy road and in one curve a guy mowing his lawn had scattered a LOT of grass into the curve over at least half of the road.
If I can not see well into a curve I always slow down because you never know what is around the corner especially here in the mountains.

Man, what a fitful night. Painful throbbing in the elbow and wrist and the inability to get comfortable made sleep impossible. Finally at 1 am i got up and dug out my kidney stone emergency kit which has pain medicine in it. I took one and within 20 mins it blocked the pain and I was able to get about 4 hours of sleep before it wore off and the throbbing came back.sure hope that pill doesnt mess up the year plus that I have been trying to heal my gut from the colitis. Going to have to discuss some pain management with the ortho doc this morning, cause gritting my teeth and moaning is not working very well lol

You could ask for a fentanyl patch.
