How to write funny get well soon messages

Funny get well messages are perfect for colds, small surgeries, broken bones and the general misery of being stuck on the sofa. Joke about the boredom, the daytime TV, the excuse to be lazy. Humor is a great way to say "I'm thinking of you" without making things heavy.

For anything serious, like a long illness, a hospital stay or a frightening diagnosis, skip the jokes or keep them very gentle, and lead with care. When in doubt, add a practical offer after your funny line, like dropping off groceries or walking their dog.
