Saying something funny can break the tension and
make them smile. Plus, a humorous message or silly text can take their mind off of their worries for a moment. Lighten the mood with a phrase like:
- "If you can handle the hospital food, surgery will be a breeze! Can't wait to treat you to a nice meal."
- "Being sick is your body's way of saying you're too amazing and you need to slow down!"
- "I can't believe the lengths some people will go to to get out of work! In all seriousness, I hope you feel better soon and get back into the swing of things."
