Welcome Home Miss Norris !

Welcome Back Miss Norris !

After being warded in Tan Tock Seng Hospital for more than half a year, Miss Norris has finally been discharged. A Welcome Home party was organized by her recently appointed Deputy Panel.

Thanks to Mrs Carmee Lim and the rest panel who worked tirelessly to bring her home. They spent months working with the courts, hospital, relevant authorities and finally getting the house ready.

Here are some photos of the welcoming party and Miss Norris who was very glad to be home.

Semi Solid Diet

Ley Kun, my classmate from Class of 1978 and I normally visit Miss Norris on Fridays. Here’s what she had to say after last Friday’s visit.

Hi Mad,

Hey – do you know that the Grand Dame is eating semi-solids now? She’s quite ‘tam-jiak’. Asking for western meals! She’s absolutely delighted to be eating again. We sure can learn a lot from her. What an inspiration!

An inspiration indeed! Since her stroke in November 2011, Miss Norris has been unable to swallow easily. The hospital has been feeding her via a tube. What good news that she is able to eat some semi-solid foods at long last. Those of us who used to regularly meet Miss Norris over lunch or tea would know that she does LOVE her food!(will attempt to get a photo of Miss Norris for the next blog – provided she says yes!)
