"I...I think I must have nearly died on the operating table, I saw my father, I asked if he was there to help me pass on and he said if that was true I would be gone already.

She seemed to vanish, but as soon as she was gone the real Linda started coughing, trying to open her eyes and gripping Geri's hand.
