Dear mom,
How nice you were able to get back on track quickly. Now you've got time to prepare for your recovery period in advance: pay your bills, wrap up open projects, take especially good care or yourself. I stashed a couple of casseroles in the freezer, which I appreciated later when I was too tired to cook. Keep us updated.
Dear Scott,
Surgery day is certainly a big adventure! I wasn't wheeled - actually walked into the operating room and lay down on the table. Guess they wanted to give me a last chance to run away.
Love, elephant
