The city councillor adds he’ll remain in hospital 10 to 14 days and then be ”out of commission” about four months.
”I’ve just got to do a lot of work, try to take care of as many people before May 11 because after, this summer, I won’t be able to do too much. I’m pretty well writing off the summer.”
Ford’s aiming to return to work September 1.
