A small squishy pillows filled with the plastic beads used in Beanie Babbies make wonderful gifts. The neck roll style is excellent for supporting an arm with an IV. Hospital beds are so uncomfortable and the pillows are not much better. I found that manipulating a small soft pillow under my head when lying down and under my arm when I sat up took pressure off of my neck and jaw. When I was able to sit up I used a pillow under books and magazines. A family member brought me a big soft European square to help prop me up in bed.
