Enough said

Most likely I’ve said more than enough.

After much careful drafting and re-drafting I finally have the wording for the Thank You cards which satisfies me.  I carefully copy this onto the cards; sitting down and dashing off the appropriate wording, without pausing, is not my style.

In the case of the day surgery staff, they may well reel around in shock, horror and disbelief, or a combination of all three, when they read the card.  I put aside all thoughts of conventional wording and go for a two-part version.

 The left side of the inner card belongs to Sebastien and he builds on the wording on the card front.

‘Congratulations.  You’ve Passed.’

The surgery staff are commended for keeping to the rules laid down before surgery, thus ensuring they passed the Sebastien Test, with flying colours. In an effort to provide some balance to the left side, I revert to a more personal approach on the right hand side, which might smooth any ruffled feathers caused by Sebastien’s forthrightness.

The card wording for the ward staff is along more conventional lines and is accompanied by a box of Belgian chocolates; these in theory will be shared with the day surgery staff.

Cards written and in the bag with the chocolates.  Job done, almost.
