Dear Annie

I'm very sorry to hear about your accident and that you're in such pain.
Get well very soon! Thanks for your brief explanation. I look forward to
the full length version.

Take good care of yourself, and don't try to do much with your wrist too
soon.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery

Audrey
