Evon noticed i was a bit 'quiet' for Friday, not the usual energetic Friday-Ivy.
I didnt realised that i did signal some abnormality but somehow she can sense it.
Dad was having his down days recently... he told Sis that he has left with no friends since stroke strikes him and maybe a few more year and he will die and leave us. The right part of his limbs are still not up to his expectation and soon it will hit the 2 years benchmark of no improvement.
Without him having to say... we do know that he feels bored sitting at home watching TV most of the time, he miss driving, he miss working and he miss the days where everyone calls for his presence. But now, besides going for Physio-therapy 3 times a week, he has nothing to keep him busy. Soon, if the rehabitation center finds there isnt any area for improvement, they will had to discharge him. How will he be able to adjust and accept?
Where are the friends when those glory days were gone? The disability to keep up with the usual social activities will make them drift away from you. Everyone has their own thing to do... needless to say, who will be willing to slow down the walking pace with you?
Sis cursed stroke for striking our dear father arm and causing him unable to work (to work and be busy is his real passion and it is what he calls LIFE)... although he is more close to us now but seeing him unhappy... We rather such closeness be reverse as it pains us to see him this way!
Damn the stroke! Be strong Pa-pi!
Luckily there is little apple-polish nephew (Jerald), dad favorite past time joy cum toy... but at times drives him nuts too!
