And even all bandaged and scraped up, you still look beautiful - THAT'S true beauty!

Boy, you make breaking your jaw look sexy! Soon it will be all the rage. Do you have enough painkillers? At a time like this, I hope you have several versions of "Pride and Prejudice" to keep you distracted. May you heal quickly!
