<p>If you can get a wheelchair, she would prob. love it if you could take her on a “field trip”. After a few weeks in the house, she may be feeling the walls closing in. My Mom enjoyed me pushing her around Wal-Mart, the grocery store (so she could pick out her own stuff), a dept. store, going thrugh a drive-through window to pick up food of her choosing, etc. Sometimes, we just got in the car and went for a ride around town checking out landscaping in peoples yards, new homes going up,etc. She may need a ride/helper to go get her hair done/cut. After lots of time indoors just getting out makes one feel so much more “normal”.</p>
<p>Send her a pajamagram and add some funs things like aromatherapy candles, manicure sets, soaps, etc. When any of our coworkers are out on leave for an illness or surgery, we always send a gift from them.</p>

<p>I’d go easy on the pjs and the robes. When you get dressed - even in jeans and a t-shirt - you fell a lot less like an invalid.</p>
<p>As someone said (too tired to look back to see who!) a restaurant meal would be great. Even if you’re long distance you may be able to arrange that.</p>
<p>What about some pants that will fit easily over her cast or bandage? I was thinking of the kind athletes use, with a zipper or snaps at the ankle.</p>

<p>Excellent food, very well prepared, and goes from freezer to table very quickly. We send this when life does a loop…hubby overseas, a new baby comes along, an accident…and everyone is very pleased with the food.</p>
<p>A Netflix subscription (assuming that the individual in question has a DVD player).</p>
<p>I survived my husband’s broken ankle</p>
<p>What really helped him to get mobile was a wheeled cart you kneel on. (Google Knee Walkers) You are fully upright and it steers like a bicycle (with handbrakes). We hung a bag on the front to carry stuff and he was mobile (except for stairs). They are rentable from hospital supply firms.</p>
<p>With this he could teach fairly early into his recovery - long before he could bear weight on it.</p>
<p>I enjoyed the pregnant guppies a friend brought. </p>
<p>A Betta in a glass cylinder would also be good.</p>
<p>^^ I like that different kind of cookies every week! Starting with G.S. Thin Mints.</p>
