EDITED TO ADD: Hey, what did you expect? The weak and infirm are always the first to go.

The short version: The doctor's visit helped. Medication + blood test + rollback to all-liquid diet have had a dramatic effect (though it's a bit too early to tell if it will last). The presence of kadyg (details), as well as reader sympathy, were tremendous morale boosts. Take me out of the "broken, bedridden, exhausted" column and move me to "jerry-rigged, ambulatory, tired."

Blood test showed nothing wrong; the cynics may collect their wagers.
