My husband works with a man of retirement age who is going to have open-heart surgery tomorrow. We want to reach out to him and let him know we care but don%26#039;t know if the typical ballons/flowers gift would really mean all that much. If there are those of you out there who have undergone a very serious operation (and are also male) do you have any good suggestions? Just the thought of visiting him when he is going to be in so much pain gives me pause to think he may not appreciate people popping in from work %26quot;to see how you%26#039;re doing.%26quot; I don%26#039;t know-- on the flip-side it%26#039;d be pretty sad if no one did anything and he felt like no one cared. Anyone have experience here that could offer some good advice?
Gift question for a older gentleman (co-worker of husband) who is undergoing a very serious operation.?
Visit him and take some healthy heart basket of bland food, that he could enjoy while he is recovering at home. By healthy heart I mean a food that are high in fiber and could help reduce colestrol, there is thing in the market called skinny water, fresh fruits. gourmet oatmeal.....add a cookbook or something with healthy receipes, depend on how much you want to spend you could even add a gift card to wholefoods market, or some other organic food store.
I hope that individual feels better.
Reply:Go visit but keep him from laughing as his rib cage will have been split open and not in the mood for hilarity.
As for a gift...find out what he likes to drink?
Reply:Never been in that situation, but maybe you could call before checking in to ake sure he is up for visitors? Maybe a fruit/nut bastket?
Reply:the other day at this ghosts and goblins store, I saw a really cool gummy Heart - shaped just like a real one! Aorta and all, right there for you to chew on....
Its at least %26quot;on topic%26quot; as a gift...... But perhaps a bit tasteless (pun intended...)
