        Hi Sun,

        I have to monitor the clock to give him medication and eye drops. Every 15 minutes I check on him to see what he is doing. My nerves are more frayed bcos he is supposed to rest his eyes but he is not. Doctor’s instructions to rest and lie face down especially in the first 1 week. This patient very disobedient. Son tells me he always catches hubby surfing net. And when I walk in, hubby switches off.

            Sorry, I can’t help but laugh
            The whole family is checking on your hubby; sure he finds no fun
            Can he take any tonic like 生鱼精 to help the recovery process?

              I decided to pick up reading again instead of focusing on \"oppa\"

              😄
              Have you tried borrowing ebooks from NLB? I love them! Can borrow any time on any day, don't have to worry about overdues, can increase font size (important for older eyes!). I use a no-glare ereader, not a tablet.

                May I ask how to borrow ebooks? Need to pay?
                Somehow I still prefer to holding the book physically

                  As long as you are a member of NLB, you can sign up to borrow ebooks FOC. I switched when I was living overseas as English books were so hard to get hold of. I loved it that I could borrow ebooks from NLB even when living overseas. Now I find the convenience of ebooks so great that I rarely borrow physical books unless there is something I specifically want to read which I can't get as an ebook. Since I mostly read fiction and am not too fussy, I find the choice of ebooks ample. I read about 3 books a week, so it really saves me time and effort.

                    I use Overdrive app for ebooks. You need a digital id which you can get at the library.


                    What do you usually read? Hobby books don’t translate well to e-format.

                      Hi fish fingers,
                      How is your wife? Is she recovering well?

                      She is recovering thanks but cannot teach PE yet.Back already at work.MIL's sister(the girls' grandaunt)lives a few blocks away from my block so she is available to help out too.

                      Even in the US,I am shortlisting a few schools that the girls can attend next year.They got their PRs approved too.

                      In times of sickness or injury,there will sure be times when the victim gets irritated or frustrated.My wife has got to put up with my moods when I got injured in soccer matches last time with broken nose and concussions.

                      Patience is the key ingredient,my friend...
