DOT -1 (collection day)
Dear Burns,
Ever since you called me to tell me I was a perfect match I have been waiting for this day. I know I am primed and ready b/c I think I just felt a white blood cell pop out of my ear. Before we get started I thought I might warn you about a few things. If you think your craving for golf is strong now just wait till you get about 15 million of my white blood cells. I think they are actually all going to be labeled "Titleist". Don't fight this new urge for golf as these guys are used to about 90 rounds per year. Now, let's talk a little about Mount Gay Rum. Right after golf they enjoy a tall glass of mount gay with a splash of soda and tonic. You'll thank me for this one!
All kidding aside you have endured more pain in your life than any man should ever have to. We are in really good hands over at Duke and they are going to make damn sure this thing works. Your strength has been incredible and it's going to take you right through recovery.
Now let's go over there today and tomorrow take care of some business!
I love you,
Your brother
