“Face it, Q,” Picard told him. “You’ve been hanging around humans too much. Your system has not been able to build up proper immunities to us, and we’re becoming contagious. You’re coming down with a terminal case of humanity.”
“Picard,” said Q, with a bit of the old arrogance. “Get some hair. Your brain has caught cold.”
And with a burst of light and sound, he vanished.
“Good riddance,” rumbled Worf.
“Oh, I don’t know,” said Picard slowly. “I hate to admit it… but I’m starting to get used to him.”
“Captain, you’re joking!” Riker said in horror.
Picard turned towards him. “Oh, of course I am, Number One.” But he wasn’t entirely sure that he was.

“The secret to Q was the Q and Picard relationship. Q was in love with Picard, for some reason. That was the underpinning of the relationship, which was why, when he came to Deep Space Nine, he wasn’t as effective a character. The weird love affair that he had going with Jean-Luc made that whole thing work, and it made ‘Tapestry’ work, and ultimately it made 'All Good Things…’ work.” – Ron Moore

It’s two days before your unfortunate encounter with a Nausicaan sword. You have that long to make whatever changes you wish. If you can avoid getting stabbed through the heart this time, which I doubt, I will take you back to what you think of as the present. And you can go on with your life with a real heart.
