A Sunday Update from TC<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n First, I can’t thank you enough for all the prayers, good wishes, and support that you’ve sent my way; you’ve made the long road to recovery a lot more pleasant and a lot easier.<\/span><\/p>\n After 2 months of being hospitalized for several serious conditions and illnesses, I am amazed at how much strength I’ve lost. Walking five miles a day a couple of years ago was less of a challenge than walking to the bathroom is today. It’s taken me by surprise. I never thought about things like this before, and I can tell you that I\u00a0 have a lot more empathy for those who have suffered long illnesses and hospitalizations, as well as those who are handicapped. I can sympathize with you;\u00a0 I understand the challenges you face every day and wish you all the best. It’s not easy; it’s a struggle, but sometimes challenges have a way of making us stronger even if we don’t always realize it.<\/span><\/p>\n I promised you an update, so here it is.<\/span><\/p>\n I continue to receive daily antibiotic infusions at home with a strong IV antibiotic to help my body fight a blood infection and what is left of pneumonia that led to cardiac arrest. I will continue to receive these infusions for two more weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n I’ve completed an intensive inpatient rehab, and I’m now receiving personalized physical therapy at home.<\/span><\/p>\n It is getting easier for me to do the things I used to do (and love), like writing newsletter articles, tips and tricks, and answering your computer questions. I tire more quickly, and my stamina isn’t what it used to be. But every day I get a little better. As my therapists and doctors tell me: “Don’t think in terms of days; think in terms of weeks and months, otherwise you’ll be disappointed.”<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n So, I am trying to focus on the road ahead and take things as they come. Taking one day at a time, counting the many blessings I receive each day.<\/span><\/p>\n In the meantime, I’ll be here to answer your questions, and I’ll be slowly getting back to normal, writing newsletters and answering your computer questions.<\/span><\/p>\n Again, thank you, my friends, for your good wishes, prayers, and continued support. You’re all helping shorten the road to recovery. I very much appreciate it!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Sunday Update from TC First, I can’t thank you enough for all the prayers, good wishes, and support that you’ve sent my way; you’ve made the long road to recovery a lot more pleasant and a lot easier.
