Don't even think about it.

And don't play with any of my desk toys.

I'll be back next week.

Stronger than ever.

And if anyone's been sitting in my new Italian leather chair they'll be hell to pay.

I'll be checking my e-mail right up to the operation.

And a few days later I'll be discharged.

Don't bother sending flowers or grapes.

I'll see you Monday, bright and early.

Love,

Laurel

Hi Laurel,
From one aneurysm to another - I admire your spunk and positive attitude - however hard it is to come by. I hope to hear how you are doing. No one else could fill the beautiful leather chair…..Best to you, Roberta
