Hi all,
MIL, with whom I have a really good relationship, is currently an inpatient in hospital following a lengthy operation. She'll be in for at least another week and then will be having some nursing care at home for the foreseeable.
Although the operation went well she's obviously quite uncomfortable, has oedema in her hands and limbs, and is very understandably feeling rather sorry for herself. She's in her mid 60s and the surgery was pretty brutal.
I'd like to put together a little gift package for her – she loves brands like Norfolk Natural Living so thought I'd get some hand cream for her, but any other suggestions for what might help her feel a bit better would be really welcome! Especially if you or a loved one have been in hospital recently – I would love to know what made it all a bit more bearable. Thanks in advance!
