Dear Friends,
I'm writing to thank you all for the outpouring of support and well wishes I have received over the past few days.
After marching in five parades in 90-degree heat and doing yard work over the holiday weekend, I did not feel well, and checked myself into Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester.
I was released yesterday with a clean bill of health, and want to extend my thanks to the staff at Saint Vincent for the amazing level of professionalism and kindness they showed me during my stay.
As the intense heat continues, I hope my experience can serve as a reminder to everyone to stay out of the sun for prolonged periods of time, while remaining in cool areas whenever possible. As I have learned, it is also critical to maintain a healthy diet and stay well hydrated to prevent heat exhaustion and other related illnesses that can occur in these harsh conditions.
Also I urge you to frequently check on your friends and neighbors, especially the elderly, and those who are most vulnerable, to ensure that their fans and air conditioning units are working properly, and they are not suffering in the heat.
Thank you again for your overwhelming support during the past few days. I have been working hard with Governor Patrick day in and day out to ensure that Massachusetts remains on the right track.
And while I clearly overexerted myself this past weekend, I look forward to getting back to business, so we can finish what we started.
Sincerely,
