I'm really sorry to hear about your accident and injuries. I won't speculate on your decision to ride again as that is something that I think is a very personal decision. I have been in a few accidents and have been down a few times, and one of those times kept me off motorcycles for a very long time. But the urge to ride is strong, and eventually I decided to take the MSF to see how I felt. I was hooked again after that. Years ago I used to ride in jeans and T shirts, but I'm an ATGATT convert these days. I don't ride at night if I can help it, I don't ride if I've had anything to drink - even one. I'm as safe as I can be while riding these days. But there are no guarantees, as your experience shows. One can only manage the odds to the best of their ability.
I'm also a big fan of dash cams and am currently working on a DIY helmet mount for two small front and rear facing cameras. I use dash cams in my car and on my bicycles, because the first thing many people do when they get in an accident is lie through their teeth if they even stick around for that. Camera footage is evidence and better than an eye witness. My girlfriend knows that if anything ever happens to me on the road, she should see what's on those cameras.
Hoping for a quick recovery and a long healthy life for you.
