I recently wrote about meeting a new friend who was about to undergo a double-mastectomy. She had her surgery last week, so a couple of us("the girls") got together and made a basket for her. I put in some things that I knew would be meaningful and encouraging to her at this time. I am thinking that I should make up several of these baskets to give out to people that are sick or recovering. Soft socks, a journal , perfumed lotion, some magazines (O is my personal favorite) , crossword puzzles, and DVD's of funny movies. All of these things help the patient take her mind off of herself for a while, and remind the recipient that she is cared for by her friends.
