    Birthday gift for elderly stroke patient that is bedridden and tube fed
    My friend will be 84 years of age in a few days. He is in a nursing home, bed-ridden due to major strokes, unable to eat or speak, and tube fed. Communication is by an alphabetical chart. He still expresses humor in our communications. I would like some suggestions regarding possible gifts in recognition of his upcoming birthday.

    A box set of cd's by his favourite artist or band,with head phones!

    Again,a box set of stories that he could listen too from his favourite era.

    A dvd of family and friends wishing him a happy birthday.

    Here's a couple of ideas:

    Amazon.com: The Best of The Tonight Show - King of Late Night (2 Discs): Johnny Carson: Movies & TV

    Dean Martin Classic Celebrity Roasts DVD Collector Video Library

    I don't know how much you want to spend on your friend, but these are acknowledged classics of comedy from his prime years.

    Thanks a million Nurse. I'm going to purchase a CD player with his favorites, "The Four Freshman" with recordings from the 50's and 60's. I would have never thought of that without your comments. God Bless and join me on Facebook as a friend. Denny Fox (Georgia)
