Eyesopen, I know you're worrying about every action right now but whether you say thanks for the call or not will not make things worse.
Take it easy on your Self.
If you said thanks for the call at the time you don't need to do it again.
As for compliments there's conflicting information but when my H was in his confusion state of mind, me seeming to be overly nice to him pushed him away. But when he was in a positive head state, he smiled when I complimented him.
Follow her lead.
