Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes says "I'm grateful for everything I have" following a "scary" time in hospital with pneumonia.
The 27-year-old has recently returned for Queens Park Rangers following a near seven-week absence.
He has played three games since recovering, lasting the full 90 minutes in Saturday's 1-0 home defeat by Birmingham City.
"I'm just happy to be back on the pitch and not in a hospital bed," he said.
"It was quite serious. It went from zero to 100 pretty quick.
