I am Thankful for Modern Medicine

Last month mil playing with gson
(he loved wearing a helmet:))

Yesterday they found 3 heart blockages in my mother in law.....they promptly cleared them and placed a stint.

Her father died at the table while eating.....at only 45!  And she is almost 80!

She has been a great role model for me....I am so Thankful for modern medicine!

My 700th Post is Healthlines Best Blogs

No Way!  How could I have written 700 posts about my life.....or whatever I could think of?  Since 2008!

What a coincidence, I happen to be on Healthline.com's list of Best MS Blogs as my 700th post.

This what they said:
"Kim has been living with MS for 37 years. She has a husband and two grown children, and her blog is where she celebrates all the things in life she’s grateful for. When coming up with a blog name, Kim says she never thought of this as an “MS blog.” But for many of her followers, her attitude of gratitude in the face of pain is inspirational and certainly worthy of earning her a spot here!"

To my readers I want to say a Big Thank You!

I am surprised by a 3 year old's ability to use modern technology!

My Newer Smart Car

I drove from Atlanta for the first time ever!!  The story is.....

We bought a 2014 Smart Car with only 9 thousand miles on it.  We are going to move my hand-controls and rear carrier over from my red 2009 Smart car.

However at first it needed a small repair done under warranty in Atlanta, (yes Smarts are made by Mercedes:))

My anxiety was out the roof so we went very early on a Saturday morning.  The traffic wasn't bad.

I followed hubs in my red Smart car with hand-controls as he drove the newer white Smart car home.

I worried for nothing because it turned out to be easy in our little Smart car train!

We must have been a sight to see!

My Handicap Friendly Faucet

I love our new faucet that comes on and goes off just by touching it.  It is great for anyone who has standing issues, dexterity etc.....and is a big help when cooking or cleaning.

  I was so happy hubs could install it, I took pictures!

These touch faucets are very expensive but hubs found one cheaper on eBay.  It was sold as a "return item"......

my disclosure:  he did have to make a small repair when he installed it......water started leaking everywhere.

He is a maintenance man though that prints out the schematics and figures it out......a small spring was upside down.

I do appreciate having a hubs who fixes stuff continually.......He is a genuine genius in my book.

Small things like a fancy faucet are the little luxuries of life......but the people in our lives are the true gems!
