First of all, let me thank you all for your heart warming comments and especially to Kent (RustyBug), for posting this thread.
Second, after all this you may want to hear some detail. Well, I took the most severe case of TB you may imagine. For 2 days I was in intensive care, clinically dead. After that my immune system decided it rested enough and that it's time to kick off. Thus, I regained all vital signs, including – thankfully – consciousness. After that it was another weak (pun intended) in internal medicine ward, slowly coming to older self. I am now at home, but still very weak. For example, 1 hour in front of the computer or talking 10-15 minutes in the phone is enough to send me back to bed.
So I started slowly looking at some threads at some forums but am still nowhere near the pace I used get updated. Doctors estimate it anywhere from two weeks to two months.
Well, I try to look at the bright side. I am still alive and with no permanent damage. It's the small things that count…..
Might I suggest taking ColdFX during your recovery. It can quite dramatically boost your immune system. Also, all that sleep can rob you of iron, so a supplement might be a good idea. Of course, always consult your doctor first.
I am sure this will all be something to reflect on in due course. Its always interesting to be near death and then come back. I was electrocuted once and that feeling of waking up in the back of an ambulance as it raced to the ER was an experience I will never forget...
Phew!
Glad to have you back, but take it easy and let your body recover from that ordeal.
Just good to know you are ok, take your time and don't sit up in front of the computer.
I don't know what time zone you are in but it's five minutes to midnight here in Sweden and I have to get up for hard labor tomorrow and it wears me out just thinking about it - but after reading what you went through I will enjoy what little sleep I get and I won't complain when I get up!

Happy shooting,
Yakim.
I feel sheepish that I just learned of your whole ordeal. I'm glad you're out of danger, and look forward to hearing about - and seeing the results of - your eventual complete recovery.
Being alive and with no permanent damage is no small thing! Take care of yourself. We wish you all the best.

Thank you. I'm basically well now, just incredibly weak. It's now only a matter of time.
