So, I'm back at my desktop fro the first time in what? A week and a half? Two weeks?
-
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!

An infrequent poster, but I've been following your updates. Amazed at how upbeat you have managed to be during what is surely one of the most stressful and painful episodes of your lives. Look after each other and don't try to do too much too soon!
So old that I did my first coding in octal via switches on a DEC PDP 8

Damn, there goes my dastardly plan to catch up to your high score while you were ill! :laugh: Glad to hear you're both improving.

Griff makes already more points when doing nothing than me when actively posting ... There is no hope :rolleyes:

There's still time - I'm nowhere near ready to return to normal. Go for it! Good luck! :thumbsup:

Glad that you are through the worst of it. And thanks for sharing the progress reports as it brings home the reality of the current situation.
It was broke, so I fixed it.
