Walking while talking, Schulman continued, “As you can see, I’m up and about, I’m finishing a little neighborhood stroll which was recommended to me by my physical therapist just to keep my body moving. I never had such fatigue from a 10-minute walk but I’m almost home now. I mainly just wanted to get on here to say thank you,” he added.

“Thank you to the doctors and nurses at Stony Brook, thank you to my family and friends for all of the amazing support that I’ve been given and felt deeply for the past two weeks,” Schulman continued to say as tears welled in his eyes. “And thank you so much to you guys. The support and love I’ve been getting online has been really really incredible and has meant so much to me. So thank you, really from the bottom of my heart.”
