I studied German and Russian at Michigan State University. During my studies, I had a little roadblock, when I had brain surgery in 1991 and was paralyzed, due to the neurosurgeon's mistake. Despite that, I had attained a B.A. in 1994. Upon completion of a B.A., I worked for Ford Motor Company in the food service division and studied for my MBA (at the company's expense) completing it in August 1997. I was "overqualified" by then to get a job, so I took an apprenticeship test at Ford in October, 1997, scoring 100% on it. The food service division was outsourced in January, 1998, so I looked for work elsewhere. I worked various jobs until I was called to embark on a career in machine repair in September, 2000.
I stayed single for a long time, due to not being able to find a guy who would accept me for my neurosurgical problem. Then one day...... I have been married since August 14, 2004, to a wonderful man, with whom I was set up on a blind date. As of September, 2014, we live full-time in the in Howell we purchased in July, 2004. Since buckling down, we have been completely debt free since August, 2014 and also sold our second home, due to both of us being transferred to Dearborn. We both work the same hours and commute together, as well.
I have been off of Phenobarbitol (at my request) since August 7, 1992. When I did some research, I found out my seizures were not them at all, but more than likely a severely toxic reaction to monosodium glutamate (thanks to my husband). It is finally nice to put that behind me. Now only if I can go the rest of my life without any further neurosurgeries (going well since 11/91). Ironically, I also read that shunt malfunctions may be caused by food additives and man-made ingredients (monosodium glutamate, saccharin, aspartame, preservatives other than salt and sugar, etc.).
