Thank God your talking about it man. I understand your wife's concern, and frankly can't blame her. Only you two can decide if you will be riding the road after this, but you have time before dealing with that.

I stepped off my Harley at 100mph from a defective rear brake seize and spent quality time thinking about riding as it was being rebuilt.

My next comment is not directed to your accident, but to us riders at large. Yesterday, we had a safety talk with a motor officer. One of the topics was saving our ass, even though we are not at fault (how to not be a victim).

He told us he has to make on average two major evasive moves a week while on patrol. Even though they are rarely even partially his fault, his point was had been paying full attention to riding he would have seen hints someone was about to screw up.
