When you get out of the hospital, let me back into your life

I'm going to be having hernia surgery tomorrow, so I'll be away from the Bar for a few days. I have some Raymond Chandlers, a book on pigeons, a couple of crossword puzzles, some Marx Brothers movies, a "Sgt. Bilko" DVD and, I hope, a big handful of codeine to entertain me while I'm recovering.

It may be a little late to send you anything from here to speed your convalescence, other than warm wishes. John has had a couple of such intervention over the past ten years or so - I've never ventured into the details with him. I remember from school days (health class, I guess) that your condition is something gruesome whereby the intestines become invasive to the scrotum or something like that. I look forward to your full account when you emerge from the anaesthesia. Wishing you a great "rock n roll nurse" during your hospital stay, though don't know if that's appropriate under the circumstances.
