Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

I was charged with a few misdiminers and a felony. The mis. was dropped to an obstruction but i never heard about my felony. The judge told me if i dont hear aboutnit in 6 months to not worfy about it? I have yet to hear about the felony since and its been a year. Should i still worry? It can possibly ruin my start of my career so i need to know what should i do and what does this. Mean?
