Having picked it up, and handed it over to the rest of my family, just after new year's, I can say that my perspective on the whole thing changed once I had gotten it. I stopped paying as much attention to the numbers, stopped following the developments of the latest science, just got on with my life. And it was a relief.

I do appear to be one of the unlucky ones who has residual cognitive effects, even all these months later. I occasionally lose words in the middle of sentences, and such. Still, it's nice to have it behind me and end all the speculation about what it would be like to have it.
