Not sure, need help

Ok so a very very dear work-friend of mine is having surgery tomorrow. something to do with his spine I think- not sure. The thing is that I can go and see him today for sure, but im not sure about after tuesday. besides i don;t know when he will be back at his job after the surgery. Is it ok to go and take him something before the surgery or should i wait till after? and if its ok to go before the surgery which is today, what should i take him???

FYI he is a middle-aged iranian guy.

Re: Not sure, need help

You should go before cuz he’ll be apprehensive about the surgery and would appreciate your being there…

:blush:

Re: Not sure, need help

ya take flowers and a get well soon card, it should be ok

Re: Not sure, need help

Well you go visit someone at the hospital primarily for 2 reasons

1: To know how are they doing?
2: To let them know that you are there for them in this difficult time and this helps a lot in healing

Now your 2nd purpose will be well served if you even go before surgery but to serve the 1st and utmost important purpose, you can only visit him after surgery.

Just visit him today and hope you will get time soon after his surgery. As far as what to take? I normally take flowers with fruites and juices

Re: Not sure, need help

flowers? i guess guys take flowers when they r sick. I had been thinkin something sweet, he doesn;t fast, but flowers is better. Thanks.

Re: Not sure, need help

i guess he needs people around him before the surgery more than after.

i agree with the flowers and fruits. or something else like flavored teas or chocolates if he likes them.

Re: Not sure, need help

Ok so I didn;t figure this part in…who comes to work a day before his spine related surgery? He is already at the hospital. Should have thought about this on friday :mad: Going to the hospital won;t be possible. Good thing is he was advised by his doctors to stay active after the surgery and not rest so he should be back to work soon. Will take him flowers and fruits then.

Re: Not sure, need help

Do people really give fruits? :konfused:

Shouldn’t you just take flowers and a card?

Re: Not sure, need help

instead of flowers take him a spinal cord
