My roommate has been in the hospital for almost a week now. It started out as a tooth ache, and turned into a ballooned up face. It's something that's usually pretty routine, and fixed by a week or so of penicillin and a root canal, but the penicillin din't work and it only got worse very quickly.
She feels really ugly because of her face, and has been worrying because of her tooth. Instead of just a root canal, they may have to pull the entire tooth, and it's a tooth near the front of her mouth.
I've been to see her off and on, her family has been coming, even as far as a few states over, and her boyfriend has been at the hospital pretty much non-stop so that she isn't alone there.
I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas of things that I could do for her to make her feel better.
Sounds like your doing well so far. I'm sure she appreciates the fact that you have come to visit her often and that she has lots of people that love her and care enough to come see her.
Keep the visiting going. If you want to get her a gift, I would suggest stuff she can do while she doesn't have visitors:
Books to read
Crossword puzzles
Mad Lib books
Coloring books
All the other suggestions are nice, but from personal experience I would prefer something I can do to take my mind off things when I don't have people there to talk to me.
I hope your freind gets well soon and keep visiting her, letting her know you care enough to visit is such a wonderful gift in itself.
