Glad you're well enough to read. I know it was a bit obvious but just thought to fill a small gap.

Something always seems to go wrong when I'm due to set them on a Monday - you were my alarm clock Paul - and a stand in when I was unable to do one - glad to see you creeping back here slowly

And it's a weird feeling. I don't fit where I used to: 7Kg of weight loss has dramatically changed the shape of my seat interface, and my legs fit under the desk a load better.
I'm not fine - don't start thinking this is over yet, it's far off "normal" - I spent 2 hours trying to get a formatted email out and failing miserably (Every time I fixed the formatting on one bit, it changed somewhere else at random). Finally decided "that'll do", sent it and found I'd sent the guy an email that consisted only of "WTF" an hour and a half earlier that I didn't intend, and don't remember writing. That needed an apology email ... and round we go!
Typing is ... um ... poor - hunt and peck is quicker than touch typing due the huge number of errors I'm making - my head is seriously muzzy, coffee tastes like ... well, frankly I'm not sure, but actual coffee is not involved at all. Gawd I hope my sense of taste improves soon - it's like I have a mouth all done out with flock wallpaper and my tongue is sitting in a hot tub in leopard-skin budgie smugglers.
I'm definitely not up to dev work, and it'll be days before I even think of trying. And until I can trust my judgement there, I'll stay well clear of QA as I'm far too easily confused by normal people to risk approaching the Special Needs Kids ATM.
I have waded through my emails - all 1733 of 'em - and have just a line of 7 pretty red "deal with this" flags to work on later instead. Not touching those yet, they need my brain working properly.
But, we are getting better, in little steps - mine faster than Herselfs, but that's to be expected, she's older, and she was seriously overworked for a few months before we went down with this.
I'd seriously like to say a huge "THANK YOU!" to everyone here who has put up with my intermittent disease progress reports, and everyone who sent us messages of support and kindness. You know who you are and we love you all!

I was literally writing you an email to see how you're going so thank you so much for the update.
Take it easy and at the first sign of anything going downhill - anything - call your doctor. Too many stories (but putting in perspective, probably still highly unlikely) of people feeling better then 24hrs later it's all very, very bad very suddenly.
We've all been thinking about you at CodeProject so it seems like we're stuck with you for a while longer.
Thank goodness. I owe you a pint, and dammit, I'm paying that debt as soon as possible.
And bonus points for the use of the term budgie smugglers.
cheers

I am very glad to see there is progress. This virus is something, isn't it? Keep up the progress! We are all rooting for you! All the best to Her as well. 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Thanks are totally unnecessary. We just want to hear that you are both getting better.

Welcome back, glad you're feeling somewhat better!

Glad to hear about you.
The most important thing is to do the steps in the correct direction, no hurry. One after another.
Looking forward to read "it's over" soon
Take care

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Get Well Soon bro. Didnt know you were unwell.

I'm amazed at how active you still are.
I don't think we even missed a single TotD.
When I went down with a flu last year I couldn't even read them, let alone post them!
Did you automate that? 
Glad you're feeling a bit better, get well soon and your wife as well

IOW, Dij's digits did it.

I nearly did, but I got complaints.
It helps that I have a file of "future posts" for TotD - I dug into the reserve to come up with reasonable / appropriate ones.
