justLisa Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 My MIL broke a small bone in her foot. Well she developed a clot and it got serious pretty quick. She is taking blood thinners and having daily appointments. SHe is stuck in a wheel chair for weeks and I don't know what to get her. Not flowers. She is SO active so this is pretty miserable for her I'm sure, though she sounds as happy as always. I just want to get her SOMETHING nice. Oh and she lives in Canada so delivering plants/flower and that kind of thing is next to impossible and expensive. I can have my SIL go shopping for me.

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Will she listen to audiobooks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Would your mother like a manicure? I'm betting that in a few weeks she will be absolutely stir crazy. Winter will be set in and she might just like an opportunity to get out. Can your SIL suggest a few places close by that she could drop your MIL off at the beauty parlor and go do her own shopping etc for a while? Or, if your SIL is doing all the care for MIL you might want to pay for one for her also as a thank you, if you can financially swing it.

They are in your neck of the woods :D She doesn't have anyone to take her places during the day and when FIL gets home they like to stay home. But that gives me an idea. Maybe a dinner gift card or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
