Thankyou all for your well wishes, they have each been very lovely to read.
I'm going into possibly day 7 with this and I actually feel 95%!!! My taste/smell have returned and I'm really feeling well. My Dr today put me on a steroid inhaler to help with the last of my breathing issues, and my lungs do feel as strong as before..
Today was my 46th Birthday and I spent it in style - listening to the master on high volume all afternoon- my God his music is needed all the time! JB is on the backburner as I cant be doing with too many ultra fast solos at the moment and so its 100% melodic Knopfler for the foreseeable!!!!
