The Best Care In Every Respect

To make a long story short, I had an operation for a hernia (rupture) four days ago, and I am now in the hospital recovering from it.  We two boys have given Mom and Dad more surprises, haven’t we?

I wrote Mom and Dad a short letter telling them, but it was a mess. I had a hell of a time writing it in bed.  There are many things they will want to know, but they will have to wait until I am better able to write.  Having had operations, they should understand.  I did want to let them hear I was okay as soon after it was over as possible.  And I am getting along fine now.

The doctor seems will satisfied with the progress I’m making toward getting well again.  But it will take time.  I expect to be kept in bed for another ten days or so.  Then there will be a couple more weeks in the hospital after that.  The hernia operation requires a fair-sized incision, it seems.  Anyway, I had a very good surgeon and am getting the best care in every respect.

I’ll write and post as much as I can, but that may not be too often at first.  Hopefully, Mom and Dad will tell Cleon (alias “the San Francisco Kid”) why he isn’t hearing from me.  I hope my folks and Bonnie will take this thing as calmly as I have-and that’s clam enough for anyone!
