Great to hear that Bill is improving and is on his way to recovery.
Tell him not to worry, one of us will get him a $40 strike for sure.

On the lighter side, could this be a ploy to get a $40 strike without
waiting in line for 2 days or spending half his savings to get one?

Get well quick my friend - You and the tote bag you carry around at
the tournaments will be missed. No trading silver strikes to the staff
to get special favors from the nurses ....

If Nurse Hilda comes around with a big needle - hide under the covers.
