Alvin vs. Truck - Update

I'm still healing from being t-boned by a truck while riding home on my bike last Sunday. It appears I landed on my head and slid on my face. Good thing I was wearing a helmet. Left eye is pretty swollen, and I needed a few stitches to close a cut over my eye. Here are a couple of pics from the day after the accident:



Here are a couple from mid-week, as I started scabbing up and the swelling started to go down around my eyes:



In the past week a lot of the scabbing has flaked off my face, and I'm more mobile now. However, my neck still hurts, and sleeping continues to be a challenge. And the black eye is still there. Seeing my doc in the morning for a follow-up. Stitches above my eye will probably come out then also. Here are some pics taken today:



Thanks for everyone's concern and support - My family and friends are amazing!

I'll post body shots and pictures of the bike and helmet soon. In the meantime, for some levity, if you've ever wondered what the lyrics were to Pearl Jam's Yellow Ledbetter... well, this may be as close as you'll get to an answer:
