Actually, it didn't. It was wierd. I was so calm during the whole thing. I knew what was going to happen. I immediately accepted it and after it was over. I stood up perfectly fine. My right lower leg and ankle hurt but I was so OK with what happened. I didn't have the jitters, or that weak feeling, or nerves at all. It was strange. I got on the bike and drove her up some muddy terrain to a driveway nearby and thanked the guy that stopped and helped me, then rode it home without a jitter in my bones. I'm a bit surprised by it.
I'm hurting now and after removing the jeans, I see I have some good scrapes and significant swelling. This too shall pass.
