I would go buy a lottery ticket. You really lucked out. And yes, props for skills as you were able to maintain. Good job!

We t-boned a deer at 63mph. Me, broken leg and cracked ribs when I landed on the side of my full face helmet; missus: broken foot and landed with all her body weight on a bent wrist beneath her. And we consider ourselves to be lucky.

Between the deer and the dumb cages, I've slowed down my night rides. Glad you're okay. We motorcycle enthusiast have so much to worry about that sometimes it takes the fun out of the sport. Well, maybe not.
