You won't have to owe me anything, but I am not going to argue with you over and over. I'm just happy to be able to help in some way.
It's not nonchalant, but I am glad to see you're trying to deal with it and stay strong. Like you always are. :) Of course I care! What kind of friend would I be if I didn't?
He is doing well. I think he'll be released shortly, which I'm sure will please the staff just as much as it will him.
