That's very nice of you. My eldest sister had a stroke and is now bedridden and has intubation to the stomach as she cannot swallow. She cannot talk or communicate since that stroke. I visit her at the hospice twice every week for the past seven months. It was very eye opening to see the other patients there. I talked regularly to one of the patients there who was very well spoken and lucid (although she has dementia and pretty much repeat herself half the time).

I led her to the staff whom I know wld give priority to old folks but she was very paiseh says she’ll Q coz she’s only drawing enuf for the day’s meal at hawker centre. If she hv CDC vouchers, she wld not hv to join long Qs or fear loosing their cash. -

I used to visit my bro when he had Parkinson & my aged SIL cldn’t care for him. Whenever I’m there, I’ll keep him moving & exercise him on those machines at the home. Keep his brain muscles strong & remind him to coordinate.

mine too. keep for big price items for CNY .
my $500 cdc vouchers are still in my pocket
I hv yet to decide how to spend them
But if wana get the $8 return ntuc voucher , must spend this week le -
I just placed a $90 order with Fairprice online - can’t use the CDC vouchers for that. I reckon that driving, parking, and the hassle of carrying all those heavy items is just not worth the $8 voucher. I’ll spend my supermarket vouchers in smaller amounts at SS when I go there twice a week.

Sorry to hear the condition of your eldest sister.

Cannot image life without communication and eating. Actually stroke is considered as a hereditary diseases, it may also related to the eating habit of the same family members. You must take care yourself. If you fell ill, then who is going to feed the pigeons? :?

I don't feed pigeons anymore... I've been warned by the guards :roll: So I'm now a good citizen but a bad human to the birds :skeptical:

I reminded dds again recently cannot feed the birds after readng some news… Dd encountered a weak bird unable to fly. She remembers that she can’t feed the bird. She wanted so much to give some water but at the end didn’t and then saw the cleaner took the bird away. She felt bad after that… say that she should have fold a paper and give some water.
Btw, giving water is allowed or not?
