Lesson22:I Hope You Get Well Soon

David: Good morning, sunshine. You are definitely looking better today than you did yesterday.

Rose: Hi, David. Wow, thanks for visiting me.

David: I came as soon as I heard. How have they been treating you?

Rose: It's been all right, I guess. The food is mediocre¹ at best, and this bed is killing² my back, but what can I do?

David: Can I make you more comfortable?

Rose: Well, I could use another pillow. Thanks.

David: Do they have any idea what's wrong with you yet?

Rose: They're running a few more tests this morning on my stomach, and I should know something by the evening.

David: The guys at the office hope you have a speedy recovery and are on your feet again soon.

Rose: Please tell them I appreciate their kind thoughts.
