I'm definitively better. Sleeping a lot, but coughing only infrequently, but productively when I do. Actually hungry (altho admittedly for not particularly healthy things -- I wanted a bacon sandwich for breakfast, but I had a glass of tangerine juice with it). A little bit housebound, and ready to go home. Looking forward to a 3-day weekend to continue to rest up, but also to work on some light-weight stuff. Like taking the garbage out -- people must think something died in my house by now!
I'm positive all of your good thoughts and prayers helped. (Along with
greatsword's family's terrific care.) Thank you.
