Countdown Day 5

I woke up with a headache and became edgy 😣

I have no symptoms so far and should be relieved

My friend says it is similar to a retreat. The final few days is a bit of a struggle

There is only so much I can do

I am more than half way through the book and I just want to get to the end but I do not want to finish the story too soon

Then I remembered a lovely Christmas lunch in 2019

My sister Lily does not get to go out much because she needs a wheelchair to get around

My niece Linda invited me to join them to celebrate a Catholic Christmas mass 🥳

After that we went to the West Coast for our Christmas lunch. Not roast turkey but local

delights like Indian Rojak, tahu goreng (deep fried soya bean curd with bean sprouts) and mee pok (noodles)

Indian rojak is something I eat maybe once a year because every food item is deep fried

I will only eat the tempeh, coconut fritters and vadai (lentil and chick peas with aromatic spices)

Lily loves the slices of lungs and prawn fritters

With all the oily intake I remember I could not eat anything for the rest of the day

It was a good outing and my sister enjoyed the change of scenery

It must be so frustrating to lose the independence of free movement

The one thing I admire about Lily. She never complains about her condition. She accepts her immobility as part of growing old. What a lovable attitude

Facts about virus

POP

The incubation period is around 14 days with symptoms showing on 5th day

However the infected person will be contagious on 2nd day. The virus can be spread before symptoms appear

Some may even not show symptoms and these are the troubling ones as they can infect others unintentionally

Louisaz says wearing a mask not only protects yourself but others as well.
