Recovering from a stroke takes time and patience. Popon said he encourages and comforts his father every day so that his condition improves.
"Every day I like to cheer up dad like dad, come on, let's say AIUEO, dad, like just A U. It's just difficult to comfort him, like holding his hand, come on, come on, like that," he continued.
In addition to his condition of not being able to speak, Popo revealed that Mat Solar also has impaired vision. Currently, his father's vision is reduced so that his eyes cannot see clearly. While his hearing is still quite good.

Popon said his family even bought a hospital bed to make it easier to care for his father. The reason is, hospital beds are more flexible.
"No, just lie down on the bed. Buy a hospital mattress so it's easy. For example, if dad wants to eat, he'll raise it like that," said Popon.
Popon said the expenses for caring for his father were quite large. Moreover, to ensure his father received the best care.
However, Popom admitted that it was no problem, he was willing to do it so that his beloved parents could be healthy.

"Yes, you can say that there are a lot of things, of course you have to look after your father until he recovers, yes it will definitely be expensive. Whatever it is that makes your father healthy, it will definitely be, God willing," he explained.
Mat Solar recently underwent a medical procedure at the Friendship Hospital to address his urination issues. After the procedure was completed, he was allowed to go home directly, indicating that the procedure went smoothly and did not require hospitalization.
