I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse.

I will go ahead and send him a hug because I truly feel bad for him and hope he'll be alright. But I don't think it's right to use a situation such as his for a gain in eHugs. He should be getting them for the right reason, which is because people CARE. Not because he just wants to see how many hugs he can receive. You know what I mean?
If I were in that situation, I would want people to send them because they actually care about what has happened. Frankly, the way you've put it, it comes off like he's trying to make people feel sorry for him to gain some kind of status here.
