Re: "Ted Wheeler Screams From His Hospital Bed (with Audio)," wweek.com, Nov. 30, 2009:
…Holy moly, these politicos know no bounds when it comes to publicity and photo ops. Tweeting from his bed (and you need a shave, Ted) reminds me of Sam Adams letting the local TV news film his jaw surgery. TMI for chrissakes! A press release would be just fine, without photos, tweets and audio.

Robert, I would agree with you but for the fact that my Facebook and Twitter pages are followed exclusively by people who choose to follow them. Many of my family members and friends from around the country use it to stay in touch.
As far as I know, there is nothing that I have Tweeted that is even remotely graphic, or as you say, "TMI." It was important for me to convey the initial message with the statement that I was expected to make a full recovery because I did not want my mom to get second- or third-hand information that might have failed to convey that critical information. There are two photos that were taken by my wife that I think are tastefully done (but yes I could probably use a shave). I believe that other than responding to specific inquiries, I have only sent two or three updates in total over the last 48 hours. If you find it too much then you don't have to follow on Facebook or Twitter.
