Perhaps we can suggest projects for you, divided into technical and
non-technical, e.g.:

tech:

Branching out into academic programming languages:
Intercal, Lisp, Ada, eiffel, smalltalk, the choice is yours ;-)

Writing your own kernel (always a popular option 8^)

Disassembling the supplied Windows driver for my parallel port
scanner so we can have a go at writing a Linux driver for it :-)

Devising a brilliant Free Software advocacy plan for the LUG

Putting together an easy-to-use applications server from FreeNX to
attract business users to FLOSS

[space for further suggestions]


non-tech:

Reading Proust (no more, that's your time used up ;)


Wishing you a speedy recovery,

 - Richard
