Healing is a process which includes dealing with psychological effects as well as the physical. I had a bad (non-motorcycle) accident after which it took 18 months to be able to walk unassisted, and still causes me to be in pain and have a limp if there's a sudden shock to my leg or when I'm tired ... I had to give up dancing, which was the one real passion I had all through my life up to that point.
I adapted and now find joy in doing other things, but more importantly I learned to be more flexible in how I approach life - life rarely remains on a constant and predictable path, and nobody's body lasts forever, so those who can bend in the wind can thrive under conditions where those who are inflexible would be broken.
