I hope it was something that was planned and not an emergency or accident of some sort.

When my wife's uncle was in the hospital, I brought him a sherman to cheer him up.
Maybe if someone lives close to Mother, you could do the same.
Everyone needs a Sherman.
So, by the time you read this Mother, I hope the pain meds are working well and that you don't have too many stitches/staples.

Good point, will he be home in the next few days, or can we all sent a proper card in the snail mail to his sick bed? Just imagine the scene, a hospital bed with a few hundred cards around it...There will be no room for the nurses....

Good luck Joe. I hope you don't end up with that common malady that most people with back injuries suffer known as chronic back pain.
