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

I can%26#039;t send chocolate or wine, as he is too ill for that, so it%26#039;s the only thing I can think of to send, but I%26#039;m never sure whether flowers are OK for a man.

Some hospitals don%26#039;t allow flowers on certain wards now, you would be best checking. My partners mum was recently in hospital and she couldn%26#039;t have any on the ward she was on.
Reply:Flowers are fine for a man - just be sure they%26#039;re sent in a vase so there%26#039;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%26#039;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%26#039;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%26#039;t particularly hygenic. You%26#039;ll have to check first with the hospital ward he%26#039;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%26#039;s best to not send flowers as they%26#039;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.
