She hasn't got a clue what horribly unwell is. She constantly thinks she's unwell (arthritis, black eye A&E) but all of her ailments are in reality very mild.Don't mean to be harsh, but when you are horribly unwell you don't knit and you don't update Twitter.
I managed to catch swine flu in 2009 (I think) and I was bed bound for 3 weeks. I threw up everything, ended up drinking orange juice purely because it didn't taste as vomity when it came back up. I was delerious and completely out of it for at least 2 weeks and have no memory of it. My partner looked after me, including washing me and carrying me to the toilet, and it's all gone from my memory. That's ill, and not even ill enough to be hospitalised. She has no clue.
