CONNIE TITCHEN, who has lived through 25 prime ministers, four monarchs and survived both world wars, was admitted to Birmingham’s City Hospital in mid-March. She had suspected pneumonia but went on to contract the deadly bug, which she spent three weeks bravely battling.
On leaving Birmingham City Hospital, she said: “I feel very lucky that I’ve fought off this virus. I can’t wait to see my family.” Ms Titchen’s granddaughter Alex Jones said the grandmother-of-five and great-grandmother-of-eight has led a “really active life” and had loved to dance, cycle and play golf.
“She is amazing and we’ve been doing our best to nurse her back to health. We were really pleased when she was given the all clear. It’s nice to see patients leave our ward after having beaten this.”
