Okay, I know this is going to sound bad, but I'm going to be visiting my Dad today at the hospital, yea, he's still there, & I haven't been able to visit since he went in on Tuesday, as I've been under the weather. My mom & I were talking, because I was thinking it would be inappropriate to leave a PC catalog out in his room. To see if maybe someone in his room would notice, & inquire about it. What do you all think?! He's doing much better though!!
 
I would not leave one laying arround his room (you and mom could peruse one) but before you leave I would go to the nurses station and offer them "something to look at" Let them know when you will be back if anyone wants to order and I always point out my info when I hand one out.
 

First of all, I'm sorry to hear that your dad has been in the hospital. I hope he is recovering well. As for leaving a PC catalog in his room, I personally don't think it's a good idea. While it may seem like a harmless way to potentially spark conversation, it could also come across as insensitive or inappropriate in a hospital setting. It's best to just focus on spending time with your dad and supporting him during his recovery. Take care.
