Retina detachment is due to old age?
Usually due to high myopia and strain on the eyes. Exhaustion. -

Janet , hope he is recovering well.MrsKiasu:
Janet, that sounds serious. Take good care of your dh. Wish him a speedy recovery.
Oral medication every 6 hours. Eye drops every 3 hours. I am doing what I can. But this patient has to cooperate too. I have to check on him every now and then to see that he is lying face down especially first 2 weeks.
It must be boring and stressful for him too, I guess he would be worried too.
There is only so much music one can hear. you can help him create a playlist on you tube - like if he likes short films, talk shows or audio books. Rope in your children to spend sometime with him, one to one. Since he is at home, might as well as make it a bonding session for them.
You take care too. Be prepared for frayed nerves, you will have much less me time , add that to your tensions and there will be moments when you get irritated over small things. Try to keep things in perspective. -
Hi,Janet…Hope your DH recovers soon.There will sure be some tensions or frustrating moments on the road to recovery.Just be more patient with him lol.
Training will end earlier so will be flying back on next Wednesday.Hooray! -
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. -

How is your wife? Is she recovering well? -
Janet
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? -

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

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.Slmkhoo

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.
