text: running: my best long run partner broke her pelvis and part of her hip, what do i do for her? what to say? she is in a wheelchair right now, then a walker. i have expressed my sympathy and concern. thank goodness we are more than just "running friends" but this is horrible. what do i say??? please no cruel answers, i always try to be nice, there are other times for that. that is tragic. everyone's answers so far are good. sometimes when a person is hurt they have tons of cards and friends to visit. then they tend to taper off, leaving the person alone and feeling rather forgotten. your friend will need you for a long time.
