What to send grandfather in the hospital?

DH's grandpa is in the hospital.  He has a laundry list of health problems, and unfortunately they are all starting to catch up with him.  They live in Enterprise, and we won't be able to visit them until Christmas.  I wanted to send something to let him know we are thinking of him, but don't really think he would care much for flowers.  He's having gall bladder surgery tomorrow, so I can't send candy or food of any kind.  What would you suggest sending?

Re: What to send grandfather in the hospital?

  • book, playing cards, something for him to do while he is there....
  • What about a soft blanket to use instead of the hospital ones? 
  • Send some type of games for him to play or even send him food he can eat later. Hopsital food is mostly gross.

  • The number one request I get from my elderly patients is for a newspaper.  So I would send him some some magazines.  I also get asked a lot if we have any better towels or soap so you could do that.  He is going to be pretty groggy after surgery and if he is staying in the hospital post op he probably won't get to eat solid food for a day or so- you could send him some kind of yummy tea or juices.  Or a nice pillow- hospital pillows are horrible!!!!!

    I hope his surgery goes well!!!!!  I know it is horrible to be a patient this time of year!
