A friend has had unplanned surgery and will
be in hospital for at least a week.

I’m fortunate enough to not have been in this position. What would be good to take in when we visit this weekend. It’s for a mid 40’s, usually fit and active, likes gardening and walking, single male.

An inexpensive fleece throw, a crossword book and pens/ pencil, a rubix cube and instruction book, and if they have their phone an Amazon card they can use for audio books. Plus magazines and daily paper.

Thanks @FinallyHere .

There are 6 of us who have been helping our friend. It was quite tough while he was in, helped by the fact that it was Easter weekend so some of us had the 2 Bank Holidays off.

It’s much easier now that he’s at home - a visit doesn’t need anywhere as much travelling time, laundry can be done at his house and pegged on his washing line etc!
