Don't get emotionally attached, and be sure you always remember the relationship is strictly professional.
Doctor to patient.
Cards are nice, but the message should be respectful and make no emotional references. Strictly an expression of thanks.

 I agree with WiseOwlE
ADDRESS it to the doctor AND his whole staff, that way there isn't going to be anyone misunderstanding what you mean.
The OB/GYN who delivered my #2 and #3 child had a WALL full of cards and pictures of kids she helped deliver. Now she wasn't in the room when I gave birth to #2 (I had a midwife there instead) but if it wasn't for my OB'GYN (and her staff) I would possible not have carried #2 to full term if at all. So yes, she got a card (to thank her and her whole staff).
I think it's a nice thought to send a card.

 The words in the card are okay, so yes send it, am sure doctors like to hear positive feed back as well. Hope you are on the mend. Take Care.

Hi. I think its fine to send- people send cards to their Drs and nurses all the time. As long as there isn't anything beyond what you have said in your post, its fine. But really, it isn't expected so if it is causing you anxiety just tell him in words that its meant a lot and thank you

He is a healthcare provider. He took an oath to preserve and save lives. He isn't just being kind, he is doing a service and what his profession requires. In the event that he is a married man; if you do offer a card, address it to him and all his staff. If you were seriously ill, the doctor isn't the only one who contributed to helping you feel better.
There are nurses, office staff, and technicians all working together to help you get well.
I'm happy to know your health is improving. That's absolutely wonderful. I'll say a little prayer of thanks for that too!
