BIRMINGHAM: Age has not matter but will of human being help beat epidemic as 106-year-old great grandmother from Birmingham beat the coronavirus by his will power.
Lady, Connie Titchen, is thought to be the oldest patient in the UK to recover from the coronavirus at Birmingham City Hospital.
Connie Titchen, a great grandmother from Birmingham, in central England, battled the virus for just under three weeks and was given a clean bill of health by medics at City Hospital. “I feel very lucky that I’ve fought off this virus,” Titchen said, when she was told that she had beat the deadly virus COVID-19. “I can’t wait to see my family”, Titchen said with joy.
Titchen was born in 1913 and has lived through both world wars.
She was admitted to hospital in mid-March with suspected pneumonia. She was diagnosed with COVID-19 soon afterwards.
“She has always cooked for herself too, although she likes a cheeky McDonalds every now and then,” said her granddaughter Alex Jones, 40, adding, “I haven’t told her they are closed”.
Alex Jones said “I think the secret of her old age is that she is physically active and very independent. She had a hip operation back in December and within 30 days she was walking again. She really is amazing and I know all the family can’t wait to see her. She has quite a few fans!”, she added.
