I have a friend who's in hospital. She's been in there a week and will probably be in for another week. "BORED AS FUCK!!" her words - not a flowers and sweets kinda chick... I took her a couple a trashy girl mags and a motorcycling mag too. She's really bored.
What can I do/give her to wile away the hours...?

One of those portable DVD players?? Needs to have somewhere to keep it when she's asleep though, they have a habit of going walkabout.
Short of that, books and magazines I guess.
I'd go fricken bananas to be in hospital for 2 weeks.

If she has a hobby of some kind maybe she could do that, if it's something that can be done in bed (not that, I mean like knitting)
Totally agree with the DVD idea. If she is a biker chick then something like the 'Long way Round' would be a great way to kill a few hours.

Yeah I reckon, I escaped after two weeks when I was in a few months ago, told them I was well enough to leave when I wasn't he he (close a bloody nuff in my book).
They have a side table type thingie these days so you should be able to safely tuck it away (electronic goods).
Yep that's the one. I was blessed enough to have a steady stream of friends n family visit & a telly with a long stick (remote)Been in hospital too many times to remember ,Nothing much helps me much but friends keeping in touch
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

Dont know what to put here
Portable dvd is a great idea! I have one if you want Im happy for it to be put to use in the aid of boredom busting.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.

And since Cola is a fellow RF owner I have a mean DVD collection (about 200 odd I think) so will happily send some down on loan if needed to compliment that DVD player, even have a list here on me PC so they can pick what they want

I've had years of hospital practice - don't bring anything in which you don't want to lose!! Including jewellery and your nice watch . . .
eg electronic stuff. The side tables are on wheels and people get gear nicked all the time. Especially if you are in a ward rather than a private room.
I don't even wear nice clothes or shoes when I know I'm going in for a stay.
The best remedy is visitors, and they can't be stolen if you get randomly whisked off for tests, etc.
Hiring a tele is very expensive, but worth it as it's not yours so you don't have to worry about it going awol.
I feel for your friend - it's not the best way to occupy yourself. Hope she's out of there soon.

Get her addicted to crosswords or sudoku or the like. Also, buy one of those cheap radios from the Warehouse or the like for a bit of music.(and if it goes walkabout, its no big thing)

Yeah, good ideas those. I got bored stupid when I stayed in hospital too. I found that just having the day's newspaper was a good way to burn a few hours, reading through the current events and doing the sudoku and other puzzles in between visitors... couple of magazines, likewise, bit of music and so on...Get her addicted to crosswords or sudoku or the like.

Hope your friend gets well soon so she can escape!

that is what helped me most!Been in hospital too many times to remember ,Nothing much helps me much but friends keeping in touch
also i managed to get on with the nurses that smoked so they would take me outside, they understand the need dont they!
i also had a rather "accomodating" girlfriend (and sometimes the odd nurse)for most of them!
i wouldnt want to be caught dead in the same grave as me.
