I want to send a gift to my grandad in the hospital- are flowers OK?

I can't send chocolate or wine, as he is too ill for that, so it's the only thing I can think of to send, but I'm never sure whether flowers are OK for a man.

Some hospitals don't allow flowers on certain wards now, you would be best checking. My partners mum was recently in hospital and she couldn't have any on the ward she was on.
Reply:Flowers are fine for a man - just be sure they're sent in a vase so there's no problem about finding something to put them in or arranging them.
Reply:Flowers are ok if he is no on chemotherapy, if he is not immunosuppressed and if he doesn't have MRSa or other bacteria
Reply:Flowers are lovely in a hospital situation, because they bring some life and colour into a room which can be very gloomy.





Bright colours are usually welcome, and try to get an arrangement which comes with its own basket or box, because in many hospitals finding a vase can be a chore.





Best wishes for an improvement in your grandad's health! :-)
Reply:Yes, they are a great gift for anyone and will brighten their day just knowing you cared.
Reply:not all hospitals allow flowers to be given to patients since they aren't particularly hygenic. You'll have to check first with the hospital ward he's on.
Reply:Yes, flowers are good.
Reply:Flowers are fine. The best gift you can send him is a big hug and kiss, and tell him that you love him.
Reply:Many hospitals have flower shops on their premises. Check to see if they can do this online.
Reply:he will love them

Reply:What a lovely thought, but you had better check with the Hospital first as a lot will not allow flowers any more for MRSA purposes. A card will give as much pleasure.





Hope he recovers soon.
Reply:PLEASE PLEASE DONT SEND FLOWERS INTO A HOSPITAL.





I know it seems like the right thing to do, but it is a sure way to piss off all the nurses.





Also, they are a health risk.





Nurses are not florests, they are not there to take care of patients flowers - they are there to take care of the patients.





Why dont you buy him a cheap personal CD player and some of his favourite music.
Reply:yes flowers are fine
Reply:It's best to not send flowers as they're not allowed in many wards, particularly those with patients suffering from cancer. Send your grandad a card together with a handwritten letter showing how much you are thinking of him.
Reply:Flowers collect dust and germs send acard!
Reply:how about a basket of mixed fruit instead.
