Even if your friend is the author of a cookbook, she still might appreciate someone else doing the cooking - or bringing takeout from time to time. Typically, people get sent home from the hospital within a couple of days and she's likely to have all sorts of tubes, etc. that will make doing much housework next to impossible. An offer to take care of routine chores like changing the sheets, running the vacuum, etc. if she doesn't normally have help might be really appreciated too. If you know what kind of books she likes, you might pick up some paperbacks for her. -- HarmyBoard LifeStyles
