Farmboy,
Add my name to the list, if you will. But might I suggest a different gift? Something either more lasting, like a nice plant or picture, or something more personal, like a big fluffy housecoat to laze about in and some chocolate and/or exotic foodstuffs? Or even a bottle of her favourite beverage. Something to give her comfort right now.
I realize that to lovers, roses are the ultimate symbol of love, especially red ones. Its just that in the lore of the oldest profession, flowers are symbols of beauty cut down in thier prime and in the circumstances I don't think it is as appropriate a gift as might be bestowed.
Just my two cents worth, my thoughts go out to this lovely lady, I hope she heals quicly and gets back to work, so we can all show her how much she means to us...
