As you can see, I have not posted to the site in some time.
The reason is simple. What was left of my body after my first hospitalization (from 167 to 135 pounds) has been ravaged by yet more pneumonia and a two week stay in the hospital near to the point of death. My body weight dropped to a scant 123 pounds. I was nearly dead several times. The double pneumonia was very, very hard on on this tired body.

Prior to writing this post, the most recent entry for a traditional workout was Sept. 28 2007. Ironically, on that day I was coming off a 3 month layoff, or thereabouts.
The fire that destroyed our home had taken place nearly 6 months prior to the Sept. 28, 2007 entry. The fire introduced a huge amount of chaos into my life, and so many areas of my life had suffered tremendous blows. I had not been able to eat well and my training was more or less non-existent. Had been for months; and judging by the numbers of that Sept 28 workout my body was clearly beginning to show the combined affect of several risk factors: stress, age, starvation, illness, poor training habits.
Yep. I was getting weaker, losing some muscle density and my health was taking a beating. Little did I know then that things would get worse. Much worse.

Editors note: 02/13/09 – It is hard to believe as I read this post that it has been nearly a year since the saga with my health took place. So much has happened since then, such as finding a place to live, being hospitalized two more times, beginning my recovery, and resuming my duties as webmeister for TPO. The site sure has picked up in terms of popularity and I am very grateful to all my visitors for making TPO so popular on the internet. I am not sure how long I will be doing this, but for now the site seems to serve purpose. So, I will continue to update it and maintain it for a while longer.
Thanks again to all of you.
God Bless and Godspeed
Shalom – TAC
As many visitors have probably seen, my posts here at TPO have been so few and far between many of you might have wondered if I dropped off the face of the planet or simply stopped caring about this web site. Neither could be further from the truth. Well, maybe that is not altogether true, for I nearly did almost drop off the face of the planet….
