Hopping wounded

How dejected does Campbell look in this picture?

He managed to come off his bike yesterday afternoon (the bike was fine, that of course was our first worry) and within a c few hours his ankle was doing a nice impersonation of a balloon .

Wheeched him up to A&E and the Doc was pretty sure he had torn the ligaments around his ankle but wanted him to go back this morning for an x-ray to make sure it wasn't broken. Most of the swelling had gone down by this morning and the pain was nowhere near as bad. The x-ray didn't show anything obvious so the money is still on torn ligaments but apparently at his age the bones are still soft at the ends (excuse my precise medical explanation) and it can be hard to tell, so he's to go back to the fracture clinic on Wednesday just to make sure.

The doctor said that hopefully all will be well by then but he did laugh when Campbell asked if he would be OK to go climbing on Wednesday evening.
