Long distance help

My grandmother had a serious fall recently and is bed-ridden, unable to eat properly and shaken up by the experience. I want to help, but I live too far away to visit or make her smoothies. So I was thinking: what could I do, what have I got to offer at a distance that is uniquely mine, meaningful and helpful? I realised she might be feeling bored some of the time, especially in the evening when people are done visiting for the day. My plan is to send her links to interesting websites that I find (not just LOL cats, she knows where those are) and stories I've written. I will offer entertainment from across the sea. If she doesn't like my stories, she can edit them or whinge about them, which possibly has as much value as her mindlessly taking them in. I sent the first instalment last night, now I'll wait and see if she like the idea too.
