Our Last Entry

It has been 6 months since my Labor Day event when they carried me down the strairs and took me to the hospital. As I mentioned before, I do not remember any of that day or the month of September. I have been going to therapy in Ann Arbor since November and should be finished next week. I will still go to cardiac therapy for another month where I am monitored while on the treadmill, bike, or elliptical. I recently took a 2 hour lab and 1 hour drive evaluation and passed, so now I can drive again. Even after so long a time driving for the first time seemed normal. I wore my hiking boots so that I could feel the break. I really cannot feel the accelerator but watch the speedometer to check speed.

I would like to thank everyone for their support during this "interesting time" in my life and hope this never happens to you.



I will not be going back to work and will be retiring from Visteon/Ford Motor Company next month. I really liked the door panel engineering group that I have been a part of for the last 3 years. It was very interesting as well as challenging. Melody and I will eventually move to Sarasota, Fl where we have a house. For now we will continue to live in downtown Northville (116 High St) and welcome any visitors or phone calls (248-505-0772). I should be stopping in the office in a few weeks to say good bye to everyone. We hope the blog was useful and a way we could keep everyone aware of the news. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.............they worked pretty good.
