Dude I can totally relate and I feel your pain. I was involved in a hit and run at the end of May and I was in the hospital for a week. 2 broken ribs, my left collarbone, LARGE puncture wound in my left ankle from the foot peg, road rash on both knees, some on my shoulders (through my jacket) and scrapes on both elbows (again, through the jacket) along with various bruises, large and small.
I was supposed to go back to work next Monday (Nov 3) but I was fired on Oct 7th because I was out of work for so long. My left shoulder is still a mess as is my right hip (not sure how that came about) and the collarbone is just now to the point where the doctor will let me do physical therapy to strengthen my shoulder.
My hopes for your recovery and that your employer is better to you than mine was to me.
And an FYI, they only have to wait 12 weeks before they can release you, so don't think (like I did) that you are safe under the law, because you are not.
Good luck man.
