Glad to hear you'll be riding soon - I've been following your recovery and it's seemed long and arduous.
Damned deer - my daughter clobbered one on the way to work about a month ago and I shudder to think of her on a bike instead of in her car when it hit.
Damned work stand - only 3 beers deceased - lucky you. I had the XV fall over on me a couple of times when I was working on it and was painful from ground level, can't imagine it from a couple of feet up, so you're pretty lucky - just the brake lever.
My first ride after a crash (delivery van tried to take me out) was pretty strange - almost surreal. I guess you've already figured to take it cool and easy for a little while.
Have a great riding season.
