Maybe it's a good thing you don't remember what happened after the gas station. The main thing is that you will be able to recover basically all in tact and that's a great thing! Really sorry about your accident but really glad you'll be able to ride again.
I also have a rule about never riding without a helmet. I have been tempted to go on a short ride without it. Believe me, I learn from experience, just it this case it happened to be yours. No way am I getting on the bike without it now.
Get well soon and keep in touch with all your forum buddies.
