10/22: Update from David Williams on Health Condition
Posted by: David
Its been a long time since you have heard from me. I'm pleased to say that I have recovered from surgery.
On June 24th, I had a Grand Mal seizure due to a brain tumor. The tumor was found to be benign and was removed via surgery on August 3rd. The seizure resulted in me dislocating both shoulders and breaking the humerus bone on my right side. I am still in physical therapy for my shoulders and have come quite far since I started around mid-August. My right shoulder is just about back to normal and my left one is about 65% to 70% with regard to the range of motion.
I started back to work on September 19th and am full time except for the time I spend in physical therapy. However, I am not permitted to drive yet but am expecting to return to driving early next month.
Thank you for your concerns and prayers for both myself and my family. I look forward to writing for this site and MarianoRivera.com over the off season.
As a diehard Yankees fan, it is disappointing to accept anything but a World Series Championship, but I did enjoy the way the team fought to get into the playoffs. I'm looking forward to a new campaign for 2006 and hopefully getting another ring.
Again, thank you for your prayers and concerns.
