At least 40 days. : D
Of course at age 115 it does'nt really matter how well you're taking care of yourself, if think that's why the doctor moderately said he hoped for her to live one or two more years, despite her excellent health. She could live ten days more or ten years more - who knows?
I whish her the best, she seems very vital for her age!
