We all have our own version of a "treat". For me it was frozen cokes, or popsicles. When riding in a car, sometimes it can be the music playing that makes the trip more pleasant, putting on some "Motown" and turning the volume up LOUD can be great way to enjoy the ride, or maybe it would be some great Mozart, or even recordings of favorite hymns. I also remember how good it was to have an extra pillow and a small blanket or comforter. As it was pointed out, being able to talk to someone who understands what it is like to have a bum liver is a gift, but silence can also be a gift.

Talk to your friend and have her make a list of things she likes, I think it is easier to write these things down, and then talk about them. I found it hard to actually ask because I was so grateful just to get the ride and didn't want to be a "bother", but with a list it just felt easier.

Also, share what you like, that is what friends do.
