Welcome!
I agree with Kellz, take it easy and your confidence will slowly increase. I had an off on my 250 April last year, still getting physio on my damaged foot (nerve and tendon damage - doesn't look pretty either!), and it took me a while to not be nervous riding! I was on the back of a bike the week after, but unable to support a bike's weight for 3 months (crutches for 2!!)! Then, I went out and bought a 98 ZX6R Ninja!
My mum loves it that I ride! She always brags to people that her daughter rides a motorbike and drives a V8 blah blah blah! Some mum's are different I guess!
Also, what's this about standing back and supervising the work done on your bike????? Get in there and get your hands dirty girly!! You wanna ride, you gotta be able to service and fix too! It's all about learning!!
Anyway, good luck in the recovery, get your hand checked out maybe?
Stay safe!

Good to hear your both you and your bike are on the road recovering Kayla 
As for the confidence thing, I agree with the others - take it easy and it'll come back... I've been chatting to a few of my friends who've come off before, and most of them actually say it was the best thing for them! They were either way too confident or much too under confident at the time of their crashes, and it's balanced them out...
Look at it this way - you came off... it was scary, but you survived.
So now you know you have to be a little careful, but you can also be confident enough to ride knowing that you were still able to get back up, even after you fell
Oh, and I agree with ZX6Angel's last post - when it comes to riding and fixing your ride - get in there and get dirty girl!
Keep it FuN!
