Sorry to hear about the illness. I recommend kicking the booze. Alcohol suppresses the immune system. Might also muck with the antibiotics. Enough judgement though...
As a Ph.D student myself, I would recommend not doing one. One should seriously reconsider the calculation of how cool having Dr. in front of your name is, versus having a happy, gainfully emplyed life.
Maybe its different in the humanities, but my experience of research is one of a dead end trip to nowhere. It's been amusing though. I suuupose it is all about the journey! Maybe a Ph.D isn't so bad afterall!

Oh but I want to potter around for three years hitting dead ends! It sounds far more fun than actually working...if I don't do a PhD then my options are to finish my law degree, and shudder, become a lawyer....or do some sort of psych masters and become possibly the worse practitioner known to the field.
I think I enjoy lurking around Hughes basement at midnight too much to not spend the next three years there....
