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.

Love always,

Dave - glad to hear that things are going a bit better, and that you're almost done with the therapy out in Ann Arbor. Many things are changing at work with the JCI acquisition, but as you'd figure there are certain things that are exactly the same. Minus, of course, Mr. Dave Arndt brightening everyones days...
Congratulations on your pending retirement, though this isn't probably how you foresaw it happening. You've picked a beautiful spot to retire to in Sarasota -- that's where I'm getting married on May 10th. If you're in the neighborhood of Turtle Beach around 7pm on that day you'll see a wedding going on -- that will be me. :)
Congrats again on retirement, and look forward to seeing you again shortly...
