You don't need to be explicit. Just let them know you care.

Of course if this were a joke question I'd have a thousand answers.

Or this.

It really doesn't matter if what you write kind of repeats what is printed. What is printed serves to tell the person what kind of card it is. What you write tells them you care.

If you know them well, you could write a little more, like a letter. People (older people especially) like to hear news and reminiscences, just as long as it doesn't make the card "me me me". or you could enclose a note.

Definitely don't dwell on the amputation/mention it at all. if you do that, you haven't a leg to stand on.

What?
