You know how special and important you are to all of us, especially me, so I wont go on and on about it.

Now, for the practical stuff:  
Get a magic marker and write clearly on all limbs: DO NOT CUT HERE!  
On little MrWally (your penis) try to write something too,but something that wont take up alot of room (rotflmfao). Maybe a post-it note would be better!.  
Draw lots of arrows and stuff to where they are supposed to operate. You dont wanna wake up circumsized, vasectomized, with half a spleen, and only one kidney.  
Tip the doctors and other staff -BEFORE- the surgery.

and lastly, show Mrs Wally how to post/email and make her promise to report to us when you are out of surgery.

we will be worried ya know, _sniff_ ya putz.

Little Mr.Wally?

Oh yeah?

I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the nurses said, “Look at this guy! He’s got three legs!”

Kelli, stop it. I can hear you laughing from here.

Manny, I don’t recall getting a memo on this. Am I out the loop again, or has California seceded without my noticing?

I just want to remind you that you do have responsibility to recover fully and quickly, as you are Poster You Most Want to Meet. You need to be up and about for your autograph signings that I’ve already scheduled for around the continent.

So get better quickly!!

Wally, been there, done that, piece of cake!  
It’s a fairly common surgery these days, I’m sure you’ll do just fine.

Hey, Wally, beaming best wishes, positive vibes and assorted good will your way. Do NOT pinch the nurses; they can do things with cathaters you don’t even want to think about.

Rest up, get well quickly and get back here to the board. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, lotsa folks here think you hung the moon and the stars. We’re pulling for you, kid.
