unwell friend

when I say friend I mean an old friend from 45 years ago. We got back in touch and agreed to meet next week. Since then she has been unwell with the flu and loss of voice etc so she has not been responding and she messaged me to say she was ill. She said she would message me soon. She has been online and I did message her to ask if she still wanted to meet next week and she read it but has not responded. She sleeps virtuclaly all day every day. That cannot be good for a person. I do not know what to do about this

Ill person sleeps a lot - how is this a problem? Flu can wipe you out.
How long exactly are we talking about?
From my memory flu is feeling terrible and staying in bed for a good few days and then being enfeebled for much longer , it sounds as if she is fairly normal. As a concerned but distant friend I think what you can do is express sympathy, ask her if there is anything g practical you could do to help, and then leave her alone to get better.

I think you have to wait for her to get in touch with you. If she has flu she’ll be wiped out

There's nothing you can do - when she's better she'll contact you I assume.

I'm a bit ? Over what you're asking?

Just be patient. If you live near her, ask if she needs anything. You'll meet when she's feeling up to it.
