Grandmother Choy Wai Chee has more reason than most to celebrate her birthday today given she has been in a life-and-death fight against Covid-19 for the past four months.
At one point, doctors told her distressed family they had to be prepared for her demise.
But she pulled through and marks her 58th birthday today in the National University Hospital (NUH), where she is its longest-staying Covid-19 patient.
Madam Choy was in high spirits when The Sunday Times visited yesterday, even though she was unable to talk for long as she had a tube in her throat.
She gesticulated animatedly and conversed by writing her responses on a piece of paper, noting: “Doctors saved me.”
Madam Choy, who was diagnosed with Covid-19 after returning from overseas in March, said she was “not scared” of being in hospital as she had spent a year in one when she was 12 to fix her curved spine.
“Hospital is like my second home,” she joked, adding that she has also given birth four times. Her children are aged between 19 and 31 and she has a two-year-old granddaughter.
