What to Write for a Surgery Get Well Card

Surgery can be a scary experience no matter how serious the operation is. Going under the knife, laser, or liquid nitrogen means tissue damage. This also means the person will need recovery time. During that recovery time, a get well card is a nice gesture.

The good thing about a surgery get well card is that you have the opportunity to send some real encouragement when your friend or relative needs it. Surgery and recovery are never easy, so using a little humor or upbeat message is a great way to help the person keep a positive attitude.

What to Say to Someone Who Is About to Have Surgery

1. I hope the surgery is fully effective and quickly leads to no pain.
2. Thank goodness for modern medicine! I hope you recover from your modern procedure quickly.
3. If you need anything to help you recover quickly, let me know and I’ll bring it to you.
4. No surgery should be considered “minor.” Anything with the word surgery involved should be considered major.
5. I’m hoping you will not have to feel much pain as you recover fully from your surgery.
