First, thank you all so much for your prayers and good wishes.
A couple of weeks ago I was rushed to the ER and diagnosed with some serious medical issues. I was then transferred to a large hospital in Cleveland where specialists who were familiar with my health issues were available.
After five delayed surgeries, I underwent a five-hour surgery last Saturday. The surgery was successful but required extensive recovery time and rest.
Because of all of this I was unable to keep up with the newsletters these past 2 weeks. I am sorry for that
My intention is to get back to writing our newsletters, essays, tips, helping you with your computers, etc., as soon as I am released from the hospital. I am hoping to get out of the hospital on Tuesday, 25 August 2026 and get back to Cloudeight and doing what I really love to do by Wednesday.
Thanks so much to all of you for your support, prayers and caring; and thanks to Darcy for keeping Cloudeight running.
God bless you all.
I’ll see you soon 😉
TC
That is great news. Take care.
TC you take your time and put all your effort into getting well ! We will keep praying for you. I believe everyone of your internet friends would agree !
Great to hear that the surgery went well. Get well soon 🙏
AS J.P stated,you take care and look aftre your health.
There is no sustitute for good health.
We trust that your recovery will be fully successful.

You had a lot of us praying for you TC and the news that you will be released from hospital in a couple of days is really good news. Don’t throw it all away by throwing yourself into the big workload that is awaiting you and undoing all that good work. Darcy is doing an excellent job and keeping everything going and I am sure she will be more than happy to see you back. Take each day as it comes and take heed of your doctors.
Wishing you all the best TC…
All the way from Mount Gmbier, South Australia, I wish you a very speedy recovery!
TC,
So happy that your surgery was a success. You must have patience with your recovery process. Everyone will be anxiously awaiting your return to work when the time is right. We all will be here when you return, and nothing is more important than you getting well and back to your old self. You and Darcy will both continue to be in my prayers…
Darcy.. take care of yourself also. I will be looking forward to the ” dynamic duo” working together again!
Many thanks to you both…
TC, take the time you need. We love you and want you healthy again, and, yes, back to work, but your healing and health are what’s important! Many blessings are sent to you along wot my prayers.
TC:
Thanks for the update and the good news. Waiting for medical help is such a bummer. When My wife unfortunately broke her arm on Christmas Eve, we arrived about 6PM and were in the hallway for many hours before finally getting the bone reset and back home at 6am Christmas morning.
Your return is most welcome but don’t rush. Sincerely.

So glad to hear you’re doing well and on the mend! You know how much you mean to all of us, even though we’ve never met or seen you, you are very, very special to us all!
Thanks TC for the many years we’ve had with you, all your help, essays, and making our lives easier!
Wishing you the very best on your recovery!
After all you and Darcy have given all of us over the years, you are entitled to rest and recover without worrying about “work.” Nothing is as important as recovering from surgery without fretting about what you think you should be doing. Put things in perspective, and realize the most important thing right now is your health. Sendng thoughts, prayers, and well wishes for a total recovery, which means take all the time you need. 🙏🩺🥰
Your health is the most important thing right now, get well soon and be healthy.
God bless and a speedy recovery. Take your time and don’t overdo it. You have been truly missed.
Just get well your health is most important – we’ll be here when you are back prayers for a speedy recovery
Take Care of yourself first. Glad you are on the mend.
TC
A newsletter isn’t nearly as important as you are! Take time to heal. We’ll wait.
Don’t do more than you are able to do. We all want you to take the time you need to get back to doing your much loved work
As we get older we finally realise that the most important thing we can do is take care of our health and everything flows on from there. That is what we all want and wish you to do, we will still all be here ….. waiting for you. Love and hugs xoxo

So thankful that your surgery is over with and you are on the mend. Take the time to make sure you feel well enough to come back to us and for letting us know how you are doing. You were in my thoughts and I was wondering how you were doing and always happy when you posted about your progress. I couldn’t believe when you wanted a pc in the hospital to help us! Just shows your dedication to us Cloudeight family and as I hope as you have read all the prayers and good wishes for you, how we feel the same about you . God Bless and He has been by your side to help you through your illness.
Please don’t rush and take care of yourself first. Everything else can wait. Sending you wishes for a speedy and quick recovery!!
So glad to hear that you are recovering TC. Like many others are saying in their comments you shouldn’t rush back to working, your health must be your priority and you need to take more time to recover than getting released from hospital on one day and back to work the next day you will end up back in hospital.
I myself and I’m sure like many others in Australia and around the world would want you to be fully recovered and have been using the opportunity to catch up reading lots of previous daily and weekly newsletters that you have shared your computer knowledge to us all.
Take more time off TC and get well soon.
TC, no thanks required. We are all your friends. We were all worried about you, and the best we could do for you was pray. Prayers are the best medicine there is. God listened to our prayers and knew they were coming from our hearts for you.
Don’t rush your recovery. Take the time you need. You are so helpful to all of us that we can wait for you. We know you love your job because you are so good at it, and we feel it when you are working with us.
So take care and don’t rush; we love you.

Feel better soon TC.

Hey TC from sunny and hot Florida. So glad to get the update. Hope you are back to “normal” soon. Good to hear from you.
Mary
Thank you for updating us. I knew something was going on when I didn’t receive any daily email tips this week. As others said, take care of yourself first. We all want you and your humorous self back, so please don’t do anything that might set you back. I’ll keep praying and sending healing energy every day.
TC, Thank you for your update, and I’m so very grateful knowing our prayers are being answered. More prayers are on the way for your speedy recovery.
All the best for future recovery. You will make it! Cheers from Ontario, Canada
Great to hear you are recovering from your long surgery. Don’t over do it, take some time to heal. You have many people praying for your full recovery. God Bless

TC, your recovery is a priority, take it easy and don’t rush things.. all positive thoughts from SE Queensland, Australia
Don’t push it. You mean more to us than any newsletter. Get well and then deal with the rest. We love you.
🙏🙏🙏
Wishing you a speedy and full recovery.
Your daily missives are missed.
The most important thing is your health. Concentrate on you.
Best to you,

So glad to hear your surgery was successful, truly an answered prayer. Please take your time getting back to us, it’s much more important that you take the time to rest and recuperate. We’ll be here when you get back, no worries.
That is wonderful news. Your health is first and foremost and healing requires rest. Will be nice to have you back.
TC, you never have to say TY. You have helped us so much over the years & we support you through good & bad.
Make sure you take the time to recover, A 5 hour surgery is not a ride in the park & neither will your recovery be. Prayers far & wide are with you through all of this & with Darcy as she holds down the fort without her side kick!
Praying for you for a speedy recovery. Your recovery is more important than keeping us updated in the tech world. Blessings
Sending prayers and a speedy recovery.
Please continue to relax and recover! I am sending lots of hugs, love and positive vibes from Indiana.
Don’t worry about the newsletter TC, just Rest and Get Well, your health is a lot more important then your work!
Take care TC, make sure that you take all the time needed for a full recovery. Sending love from Oak Creek, Wisconsin 🥰
Thought’s and Prayer’s are with you TC for a speedy recovery.
God bless you! All my prayers will go your way… Just get better..
Hi TC,
Take all the time you need to get well. We and the Newsletter will be here when you are able to do it. Your well being is more important then anything else. Hope you soon are feeling like your old self. Take care and don’t worry about things.
Oh nice to hear from you TC. You take care and like some of our friends said: Don’t push it. Take it easy till your completely better.
So happy or you and anxious to get your great help in your newsletters. Please take care of yourself.
It is most important that you take care of yourself first. I have been in the hospital for several things and I don’t like being in one. I hope you will recover and get back to normal life. Don’t think about the work, it will be there when your ready. I am sure you are in the thoughts of all of your loyal followers. I am one. Take care and we will hear from you when you are ready.
Even though it was a big void not seeing your weekly newsletters, I hope you’ll take care of yourself more
than you used to do🙏.
Praise God! He is so good. ♥
I’m so very glad you finally got the care you needed. Now, take really good care of you and give yourself ample time to heal and feel better. We miss you, but I am sure I can speak for everyone that we don’t want you to rush and cause a set-back. Prayers work and you are in many as well as Darcy.
My prayers are with you for your fast recovery.. Take Care God Bless – Dave
Right now, you need to focus on getting well, TC. I am so sorry you had to go through all that, but very glad that you got the surgery you needed. That is a long surgery O.O
We’ll be right here when you are up to it, just like you’ve been there for us. Sending healing thoughts and energy.
That’s wonderful news TC but just take it slow, get your rest and get well.
Prayers are going your way. Take your time to recover. We miss you and all you do for us.
TC,
Don’t worry about anything else just take all the time you need to heal.
Kathi
Rest and recover. What a harrowing experience you have undergone. I continue praying as God holds you in the palm of His hand.
TC, I hope the surgery was successful and you are now on the mend. It is more important that you take the time to recover and not worry about what needs to be done at Cloudeight. Best wishes.
Hi TC. Glad that your surgery went well! Hope you have a speedy recovery. When returning to Cloudeight, please do not come back “full force”. It takes time to get over major surgery. Return gradually, increasing in doing what you love little by little. That way, you will have less of a chance to have a relapse. And you will heal from the surgery without having complications. Please take care of yourself as you are a valuable asset. And we want your guidance and instruction for many more years to come!
TC, make the most of your R&R; it could be a very long time before you get another chance, with Darcy being the slave driver that we hear so much about. I’m glad to hear your surgery went well. The rest (seriously) is up to you, my friend.
Looking forward to dealing with the old, but improved, TC we all love.
Terry 💕🍁
TC, I feel like a “broken record”, but I so agree with what everyone has said..rest, rest, rest..!!! My daughter recently had surgery and went back to work too early, thus, she did not heal correctly and is till having problems…!!
I know you want to get back to what you love, but sometimes we just need to “slow down and heal”…!!
Best Wishes in the healing department…!!
Sandy
I am so sorry to read this news, and I pray for your complete recovery. Please ignore the message I sent earlier about not receiving the weekly newsletter for 2 weeks. It all makes sense now. Take your time to recover fully!!
Your health is the most important thing!
I’ve been away for a few days and didn’t know about your illness, TC. So glad you are on the mend. BIG HUG!!!! C
Take your time, rest up, so glad surgery went well. Don’t rush, we’ll all be here when you get back.
