Bear down

Felled by a pothole whilst out running at 05:55.   Currently in a&e Coventry awaiting a doctor.   Fear re-break of left ankle.  More later.

Oh no, broken bear  :(

Hope it's not the b0rken ankle again.  That would be really crummy.

Eep! Hope it's not as bad as you fear and, in any case, that you get well looked after.

Bloody potholes! They get you on or off the bike :-(

Hope it's not too bad PB and that you make a full & swift recovery.

Hopefully it isn't broken, but if it does turn out to be, we're sure you're capable of bearing up.

I just hope it's not too long before his ankle is able to bear weight again.

Ouch! A tibia takes quite some breaking, doesn't it? Must have been a bad fall and a nasty pothole.  :(
