Notice from the TMS Editor

EDITORIAL, 15 Jan 2024

#831 | Antonio C. S. Rosa – TRANSCEND Media Service

Dear friends, this note is to let you know that unfortunately this week our TMS Weekly Digest will be seriously lacking.

The reason is that last week I was taken to the Emergency Room twice—and am getting ready to go back again shortly—due to an aggravation of the scoliosis on my column. The pain is excruciating and incapacitating as I lose flexibility and movement. Due to inflammation, pain killers don’t work. I pray and hope to get better.

I apologize to writers and readers for this inconvenience and hope things come back to normal ASAP. I have been utterly unable to work.

With a heavy heart, I count on your understanding.

Thank you!

    Dear Antonio, I wish your soon being released from pain and recovery!
    In this kind of problem, people in East Asia would see a good acupuncturist; if it could work on your present situation?

    Aloha Antonio.
    With this greeting of Aloha, I am trying to send you the warmth of these islands as you probably remember them as you spent those times of your life under the tutelage of Professor Johan Galtung. I do send you the warmth of our friendship over these years, although we have not met personally, and wish to extend my hope for your recovery. As your circumstances change and you find yourself in my Hawaii vicinity, please let me know and I will extend to you all the assistance I will be able. As for me, my current travel limits are somewhat restricted as well. Aloha a hui hou.
    Poka Laenui

    Caro Antonio, mi dispiace molto. Nono devi scusarti. Conosco quel dolore. Ti vogliamo presto in salute.
    Un abbraccio

    My wife suffers the same medical condition as you, Antonio. It’s not fun. She’s in chronic discomfort with bouts of acute pain. However, with the help of pain medication she is able to function almost normally. In her case, surgery was not advised. And thank God we have Medicare and a pretty good back-up insurance plan or here in the USA you become financially ruined from medical bills.

    Dearest Antonio, please take good care of yourself! Your work is so precious but you, yourself, are much more! Best wishes, erika

    Dear Antonio, I am sorry to hear that you have been suffering from this distressing condition. I can only begin to understand your pain (as someone with minor scoliosis and arthritis in my lower back). I hope whatever treatment is available to you will succeed in returning you to equilibrium as soon as possible. I, too, shall send my healing prayers and best wishes for a serious recovery. I would also like you to know that I also look forward to the TMS updates every week and GREATLY appreciate all that you do to keep us informed. Your work is very important to all of us. Thank you and best wishes in recovering.

    With Genuine Wishes for Comfort and Healing
    Dear Professor Carlos Antonio Silva Rosa
    We hope this message finds you in moments of peace amid the challenges you, the good Professor Rosa, are facing. We recently learnt about your ill health, particularly with scoliosis, and we wanted to take a moment to reach out and let you know that you are in our thoughts.
    It deeply saddens us to hear about the pain and discomfort you are enduring. We can only imagine how challenging each day must be for Professor Rosa. Your strength in the face of such adversity and impediments, is truly inspiring, and we want you to know that your well-being is of great importance to all of us.
    During times like these, we wish there were more we could do to alleviate your suffering. Please know that you are not alone on this journey. We are here to offer any support or assistance you may need, whether it is a friendly conversation, assisting in cyberspace, or just being our comforting remote presence.
    May you find moments of relief and respite amid the difficulties, and may each day bring you closer to healing. Your courage and resilience are admirable, and we believe in your ability to overcome these challenges, as you have undoubtedly done over Professor Rosa’s arduous life.
    Sending you heartfelt wishes for comfort, strength, and, most importantly, a swift recovery. If there is anything specific you would like, or medically assist with, please do not hesitate to let us know. Your well-being is our priority, and we here for you. We both echo the sentiments of hundreds of members and readers of the Transcend Media Journal and pray that Professor Rosa is literally, back on line, expediently for the benefit of “Global Peace Propagation”, during these troubled and tumultuous times. Thank you for sharing your medical matters with all of us. Rest assured, our collective cyber-support, good wishes and prayers for healing are there, and ongoing.
    Warmest regards,
    Hoosen and Vanessa Vawda
