Here's another hospital trick I learned when Judy had her heart bi-pass surgery. On the second day of her hospital stay, I brought the most expensive, decadent, gooey chocolate cake that money could buy. I delivered it to the nurses break room at five in the morning, with a note that said, "Judy in bed 801-2 says thank you for all the great service."

It was amazing, the service she got. Nurses would come in, in the quiet of the night and give her foot massages. ANYTHING she wanted was there instantly. It almost got to be embarrasing. Bob
