Hope you have a speedy recovery xxxxxxx

Aww. Get well wishes. Glad he's not too badly hurt though. Hope he's out of pain asap.                                                                                                                                                                              

Sad news , just remember,
broken bones mend ,
and a fractured wallet is refillable,
but saddest of all,
a lost summer has gone forever .
I hope your pride and joy is repairable and the insurance tw@ts reasonable.
I wish you a speedy recovery
Dusty x
p.s. Have you had a warm smile from a 'fit' nurse yet , it don't half perk you up . Lol
