[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks again, all!

I wanted to let you all know the friend survived major surgery. Doctors are optimistic. Friend will be in hospital a long time yet and it’s comforting to know they will have medical help nearby while they recuperate.

They have received phone calls and are sending their own updates again about progress and that seems promising.

That's great news!  Have you spoken to your friend's spouse or partner or parents or kids?  Can you help them while they help your friend?  They're probably exhausted and they may just need a little break - someone to take the kids out for ice cream or to do a play date, someone to spell them at the hospital so they can go home and take a nap, someone to sit at the house while Merry Maids is there cleaning, those kinds of things.[/quote]

Great ideas! Maybe we can send over a meal kit or something. Our neighbors use an online service to arrange meals. Maybe there is something like that. [/quote]

DON'T do a meal kit.  That's more work on them.  The point is to make their lives easier, not harder.  Sheesh.  If you're going to do a meal kit, then you might as well send over a mop, bucket and cleaning supplies.  Try to think about what they need and would appreciate, not the easy route for you.[/quote]

You’re rude. I’ve never ordered a meal kit, Sinai didn’t know it was “too hard.”

It’s odd you would assume I was thinking about what is easier for me. You don’t know any of the details or back story and yet you are an expert, apparently.

Such a weird response from you.
