Re: Hit by car -- only 16 days old!
If I don't reply to each and every message I received, I hope you will
understand and forgive me.

Don't I know it. I was a volunteer paramedic in Canada who had to
triage at my share of gruesome accidents. Not fun, but someone had to
do it.
I called the doc yesterday and he phoned in a perscription for something
for muscular pain. I will be seeing him tomorrow. In the meantime I am
liberally using hydrogen peroxide on the roadrash, followed by
Polysporin ointment (that stuff is over the counter in Canada but I
think it is perscription only in the US -- nuts!), a sponge dressing and
a wrap to hold it in place. It is already looking better.

I don't know how anything under the bodywork is. I haven't had the
heart to take it off myself. The bodywork was only scraped, not
cracked for it to puncture anything. The only true crack was at the top
left near a fastener, but that was just from everything shifting. From
the outside I can't see anything that would lead to a puncture inside.
The shop opens in 40 minutes and then I'll arrange for transport and the
first look-see.
I'll post followups as I learn the details.
