Take the spine at an angle, much easier than even whipping it. Practice lifting the rear up and setting your front tire in. Just watch how sharp an angle you take it so you don't wash out. After you get them down at an angle, then practice whipping over straighter and straighter.
The key with going at an angle is that it projects you more to the side which decreases the amount you over shoot. It's also easier to bail to the side like this which can give more confidence.
Hope that helps and good luck! I can already tell you will get it.

I know what you mean, I have a plate in my wrist with 6 screws, tore my AC in my right shoulder, and dislocated my hip- I'm only 29 but feel right up there with you, so I'd say you're doing quite alright! I hope I am half as limber as you at that age haha. You could say my snowboarding and skateboarding background haven't helped me at all- thats where I got all my injuries.
