I believe I may have survived my brush with the Grim Reaper. My throat feels almost normal, despite the husky-sounding voice. The coughing and sneezing has subsided considerably, and tissue usage is going down appreciably. In fact, I feel well enough to venture forth and scavenge the aisles of Publix for something to feed me and my kid. I know a large part of my recovery has been due to all the pity I’ve been able to wallow in.  
Youse guys is da bestest!

No problem, **FCM**. Just stick Sven in the closet until you need him again. 😃
