I have no recollection whatsoever of my 2 weeks in ICU in Allegheny General Hospital -- I just remember of looking out the window and seeing bridges leading to downtown Pittsburgh - but woke up in Rehab at West Penn Hospital -- and having zero use of the right side of my body --

I remember friends coming in with my Mom and Kathy -- and I remember the nurses changing my diaper and having to catheterize me every evening -- God Bless them -- such relief --

I also remember the nurses giving me a refreshing shower -- was there a few weeks but still could not walk on my own -- from there I went to "Concordia Rebecca Residence" for a few weeks -- it was there that I learned to walk on my own -- and do the stairs by myself.

Lastly -- Morgain Iorio (NEOCC) is on the Board of Directors of a group of senior citizen Care Centers -- and he arranged for me to go to Cuyahoga Falls, OH for the final two weeks -- they brought in therapists for me --

I left Cuyahoga Falls on July 3rd of 2017 -- when Dr. Silber (retired) flew up from Cape Coral FL and my cousins Tom and Sue Henry picked him up at PIT airport and came to bring me home -- Neil spent a couple of days with me observing and giving me wise wisdom (for which I can never thank him enough) --

Pleased to say that I stopped rehab in August 2017 -- and am home completely recovered and back up to 200 pounds. (I was 259 at one point before I retired.....and when I woke up in West Penn Hosp I weighed 168 -- )

Anyway -- I thank each of you for all of your prayers -- they do indeed work and I'm proof!

And I thank you for all the passion you have for my beloved Camaro --
...All My Love....

You are ...The BEST!
