If he could Will would be there in scrubs in a heart beat..it's the caring side of him we love so much.. :D

I've treated a few patients with this in my day, and the treatment has worked wonders, you will be fine, just rest and take it easy.

Get your rest on and I'm sure you will be up and about in no time.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery - hope they at least have good food there at the hospital.

I have shocked the nurse team with my appetite..The food is not too bad at all..the downside..I asked the nurse for ice cream, and they only have crackers and juice! :((
