Take care, Wally, and come back in one piece.
Wally - I’ll be thinking about you and sending my best wishes.
Get back soon - I’m going to miss you!
Hey, Wally.
For anyone who grew up in the Long Branch/Lakeshore area of Toronto, heart surgery should be a breeze!
Soon as you’re back on your feet, you can take me joyriding in a stolen cop car!
All the best, bud…
My fate keeps getting in the way of my destiny.
Lord help us all… Wally do you really think you can help him out here?
Will miss ya!!
We are, each of us angels with only one wing,and we can only fly by embracing one another
I had this great post all typed out and ready to post, and then got bounced. Grrr!!!
Wally, ya know I love ya, guy. Thoughts and prayers headed your way – hurry up and come back and make us laugh – we need you!
Here’s something to keep your spirits up: 
::long, lingering smooch::

(Now hurry back, dammit!)
Just wanted to add my best wishes. We all look forward to your triumphant return.
I hope you have pretty nurses!
Good luck and speedy recovery!
Wally, Here’s to making your sweet heart even stronger & better. I’ll be wishing the best to you all that day!
Wally (& Jane),
I’m too much of a sap to make it through a “good luck on your surgery” letter without crying, so I hope you don’t mind if I change it slightly to a “best wishes and congratulations on your new life together” note, instead. The waiting and the recovery will be a bitch, but once it’s all over, the sun’s going to shine brighter for you than it ever has before.
Thinking of you and your family,

Good luck, Wally. I was going to tell the one about the priest, the rabbi, and the vacuum cleaner salesman to lighten up the situation a bit, but I didn’t want your heart to explode, so I won’t.
Heck is where you go when you don’t believe in Gosh.
Perhaps it would be better if Wally has ugly nurses, not such a strain on the new connections.
Good luck Wally, and remember these guys are only glorified plumbers. So don’t be afraid to tell 'em exactly what you want done and how you want your scar to look.

Wally, break a leg, dude.
Best Wishes Wally, hurry back and think of all the stories you can tell, all the great platic ware you get to keep from the hospital and how you’ll use them for planters, all kinds of neat stuff!! Get Well soon,

Take care Wally! I wish you a smooth surgery & speedy recovery. I’m sure you’ll accumulate lots of good war stories May your biggest complaint be with the food!

Thinking of you Wally and sending you good vibes. With people from all over the world doing the same thing you’re bound to be okay.

Just a gratuitous bump to remind everyone to keep Wally in their thoughts and prayers, as tomorrow (the 10th ) is surgery day I beleive.
Hurry back Wally.
Thanks for reminding us, Kelli.
Wally, off you go. I hope all goes well, and I’m looking forward to seeing you check in in the nuthouse again (errrmm… that would be THIS nuthouse, of course).
Give 'em hell. Oh, pinch a nurse for me will ya? I haven’t been in a hospital for a while
