Jean in Newcastle Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Really the title says most of it. It's still in the diagnosis stage but something is terribly wrong. At times vision is affected so probably a book wouldn't be a good idea. I want to send something to let her know that we are thinking and praying for her.

Arcadia Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Besides gift cards for meals, if she need rides to medical providers then Uber or Lyft gift cards might come in useful. I have not use Uber Eats but Uber has been very useful for me. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 iTunes card, Starbucks gift card, Amazon gift card. Those were all well-received/used when DH was going through his diagnosis/treatment. Also, grubhub/uber eats -- great idea. Even when DH was inpatient, there were times he couldn't handle the thought of more hospital food. He ordered lots of subs to be delivered during that time. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 A thinking of you card. Chocolate / ice cream gift card for stress eats. Whole Foods gift card (if in that area) for healthy eats. Uber/Lyft for rides. Maybe an audible gift card? Do they sell those? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 A lot of kindle books now come with whisper sync audio versions. So you can read the e-book, or listen to the audio book, or switch between them. I often do this - read in the evening but switch to listening while doing dishes or weeding the garden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 I got her a Starbucks card. And ordered a Dr. Who afghan. (She often goes as Doctor Who characters to ComicCon). Thank you for helping me think this through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
