I get my sarcasm-in-serious-situations gene from my dad

"Hi Sara,

Here is the anticipated schedule -
Operation on June 28 (Wednesday)
ICU afterward, 1 day or more
(The worst part of this is the big tube they shove down your throat)
Hospital, 3 to 5 days.
(This is also no fun. Waked up at midnight to take a pill. Waked up at 2 am to get
jabbed with a needle. Waked up at 4 am to be weighed. Yes, weighed. You get out of bed
with your IV attached so you can step on a scale. It is best to be in tip-top shape so
you can survive this.)
Several months for the bone to heal."
