Friendship in Hospital


Question Posted Saturday February 19 2005, 11:08 am

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.

Just be incredibly nice to her... do all the little cute things that will make her feel better. Balloons, music, gifts, flowers, and CHOCOLATE : )
You know the drill.
Good luck!

buy all her favorites thats she allowed to have..all her favorite flowers, stuff animals that she has around the bedroom room, so it will make her feel like she isnt in the hospital. As far as pulling the entire tooth. I'm 14 and I had oral surgery done 2 weeks from yesterday to help one of me teeth to come up since it's there and wouldn't come up, they wound up just pulling my permeant tooth which is on the bottom right side of my mouth, so its not a big deal gettin a tooth pulled, if she is over 16 or 18 and she has stopped growing she will be able to get an implant and have a fake tooth put in replace of her old tooth. I hope she gets well soon.

-EDITED-

-what/how she looks on the outside doesnt matter, its what matters is on whats the inside-
*tell her that and see what she says*

-need anything else feel free to drop one in-
