So many thanks to you Bobbi and Marvel for caring about someone whom you don't know but do know is precious to me.
We had a lovely long chat on the phone and thankfully she is feeling quite a bit better. Stopped coughing and is now able to walk around her flat. She has even made the effort to go down 2 flights of stairs to collect her post. Said she was left feeling a bit worn out and breathless but at least she managed it. I am so relieved and pleased. Looks as though things are going the right way.
Hope to be able to have another chat tomorrow to find out how she is.
Thank you both again for caring.
