MS hit me suddenly later in life (age 52), so I've been blessed with a long able-bodied life. I've been a US Coast Guard radioman, a journeyman plumber, and a mechanical (HVAC/PLBG) Professional Engineer. I have good friends, a very supportive extended family, a fabulous wife, three great kids, and six thriving grand kids. I had my time with satisfying careers, a sports car, a motorcycle, a boat, and traveling. Now those times are over, and I'm 'retired' (aka disabled), but still able to do my own Activities of Daily Living, partially ambulate, and drive (automatic trans). I feel very blessed
