Since I have never been in this situation before, I wanted some advice on how to repay people that are helping in my recovery from a broken bone. I have two aunts that between then have taken me to doctor's appointments, picked up my mail and did some some shopping for me. A person I work with has agreed to water my plants at work while I'm out. It seems crass to offer them money, which they probably wouldn't take anyway. I thought about sending flowers, but I don't know if they are allergic and cut flowers seems like a waste of money to me. And with everyone watching their weight (I think at least one of my aunts is diabetic), candy is not an option. Would a gift certificate to a local supermarket be okay? That way they can get what they want and need. Now the question is as to the amount I should recompense. Any further suggestions? Also people at work sent me a basket of living plants and a fruit basket. Do they have to be acknowledged? How so?

How about taking your recovery helpers out to lunch, or have them over for dinner and explain to them that you greatly appreicated their help during your recovery. Nothing says thank you better than a free meal. You have some wonderful family/friends/co-workers. As for the people at work how about bringing a couple of desserts along with a thank you note. I'm glad to hear that you are back on your feet!
