I'm sorry, she's not dead yet, but my Granny is defying medical science.

Declared palliative, eight days unconscious, on morphine, no food or fluids, no drip.

But ten minutes ago, when I asked my Mom to hold the phone up to her ear, and I said 'up the fucking Villa' her eyelids apparently flickered, which was the first movement from her in four days.

That's tough to deal with, sorry mate. (Not the Villa bit, although they can be tough to deal with, too).

Thanks mate.

There's no question of her getting better, but somehow, she's still going.

I'm thinking about looking up what the Guinness world record is for surviving without fluids.
