bike accident in NYC

I knew it would come sooner or later... FINALLY I had an accident, let me explain:

Everyday I either walk or ride my bike to work, I run all around the city, in the street, over bridges, I Rollerblade with traffic, I bike alongside rush hour vehicles. BUT TODAY WAS DIFFERENT. I saw my life flash before my eyes as a yellow taxi was coming straight towards me on the west side highway (I had the right of way), I squeezed my brakes so fast and I flipped over The front of my bike head first and hit the taxi/ground, flipped again and crashed on the ground. I was half conscious. Ambulance came, I went to the hospital, lots of bandages, pain medication, x-rays, ice packs, geezzz... PLUS my phone wouldn't stop ringing, it was horrible cause I had head injuries and it hurt to listen and talk.

The doctors told me that if I didn't have my helmet I wouldn't be here right now talking to them. that had a major impact on me and my soul. <-- more about this later.

Now I am stuck at home for the next 3 weeks on crutches! ME-- ON CRUTCHES, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

Now anyone who knows me, knows that I can NOT stay home more than an hour at a time, so this will be a challenge, I can't work, I can't run, I can't go out with my friends, what type of life will I have?? I guess I will have to live on the internet & watch movies, I pray that I get better super quick and keep myself occupied in other ways. Maybe people will come visit me? (keeping my fingers crossed)

It's horrible to be stuck in the house, especially in the summer! arggg...

BE CAREFUL NY! ITS DANGEROUS OUT THERE!

Here's some (not as disgusting as they could be--
I have worse pic's but don't want to gross anyone out) pictures:
