Thread Name: Song Challenge: Get Well, Aine!
Subject: SONG CHALLENGE: Get Well, Áine!
Amos says I've been elected to start this thread, since I asked if such a thread existed yet. There are details of Áine's long recovery from surgery, and some dental setbacks, on the following threads:

Áine Springs Forth (or is that Back?)

BS: - Mmm Not! Is Aine Okay?

...but here are a couple of details, from the "Mmm Not" thread:

On April 14, kat said: "Okay, just got off of the phone with Aine. She has not been well, but is getting better. She had an infection in one of her teeth. Went in for a root canal about two weeks ago and they couldn't finish it because the infection was so bad and her roots so high. So...she's been on antibiotics to kill the bacteria and steroids to reduce the swelling. She goes back to finish the root canal on Thursday. In the meantime, her inner ear and sinuses are so swollen, she is basically bedridden due to vertigo, ringing in her ears, and nausea. But, as she assured me, it IS better than it was! All good thoughts, prayers, etc. are welcome and appreciated."

On April 15, Amos said: "She is gradually getting better -- but the combination of significant surgery [for a herniated disk], with anaesthesia, serious sinus infection and root canal operation has left her pretty battered, understandably. She can still laugh, though, given the right provocation! She's awful tired of being sore. Plus there was Spring break which added to the pressures. She's pulling through slowly but surely, I think..."

So here's the Song Challenge: write a get-well song to give Áine "the right provocation" to laugh! No Cow Chips to be awarded here; the only prize will be the easing of Áine's recovery with some giggles. Have at it, fellow Challenge!rs!!!
