90-year-old Farwell Man Gets the Strength to Ballroom Dance Once Again

Despite some debilitating heart issues, a 90-year-old Farwell man hopes to get back to full strength…by stepping onto the dance floor.

Earlier this year, Edwin Haynack went through his fourth cardiac procedure. Over the next few months Haynack worked with his cardiac care team at MidMichigan Medical Center to get his heart back on track; but the biggest motivation for Haynack, and perhaps the best medicine, was his desire to dance again.

“I may not be able to return to my top form, but I’m determined to get pretty close to it,” said Haynack. “So it’s a slow process right now to regain it to a point where I can start the dancing.”

Edwin says one day, he hopes to teach his wife Jean to dance.
