After several months of dealing with persistent health challenges, I am grateful to share some encouraging news. On Sunday, after an 11-day stay at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, I was discharged and am now continuing my recovery at home.
While I still have a few follow-up appointments and outpatient testing ahead, I am feeling stronger each day and remain on track to return to the Boston City Council for our regular meeting on August 5. I am optimistic about my recovery and look forward to getting back to doing what I love most—serving the people of Boston.
These past few weeks have reminded me just how precious our health is and how fortunate we are to have extraordinary healthcare professionals in our city. I am incredibly grateful to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Brigham and Women’s Hospital for the outstanding care, compassion, and encouragement they provided throughout my stay.
I also want to thank everyone who reached out with prayers, kind words, messages, and support. To my family, friends, colleagues, and the countless Boston residents who checked in on me—you lifted my spirits during a challenging time and reminded me why I am so proud to call this city home. Your kindness meant more than I can adequately express.
Although my recovery will continue over the coming weeks, I feel energized, optimistic, and excited to return to the work our communities have entrusted me to do.
