Noelia: Morning, Bob.

Noelia: It's so rainy today. The weather in this country is horrible!
Bob: Yes … yes … The weather was even worse when I lived in Canada.
Noelia: Oh, I didn't know that you lived in Canada, Bob. How cool!
Bob: One winter it was so cold and windy that I fell on the ice and broke my leg in three places.
Noelia: Oh no! You're joking!
Bob: I wish I was, Noelia, I wish I was. I was never the same after that winter. And my leg is still bad today.
Noelia: Really? I'm sorry to hear that. Poor you.
Bob: But it's not all bad. I met my wife in the hospital. She was the doctor who looked at my leg!
Noelia: No way!
Bob: It was love at first sight!
Noelia: Ah, that's brilliant!
Bob: Yes, and we're still in love 40 years later …
Noelia: So in the end, breaking your leg was the best thing that could have happened.
Bob: Yes, I suppose it was!

I broke my toe in the gym once. During a speed training excercise, my foot was stuck in between the mat tiles and I broke my toe. I couldn't put up with the pain. It was so strong. I hope it will never happen again!
I've broken my finger when I was on the beach, the sea was rough and I jumped into the water and a strong wave threw me on the cliff.
I broke my leg when I was pregnant. Imagine that, a pregnant woman and her big belly with a broken leg. It was terrible.
Oh! Poor you.
I need a partner for a fix routine.

It's take more time.
Hello abudo93,
I'm sorry about this. Are you able to see other videos (on our site or on other sites) any better? I don't see any problems with the videos on my end.
All the best
