Today has been a huge NSV!  Let me tell you a story and see if you agree.

4 1/2 years ago, MFH (My Favorite Husband) and I moved to Mississippi.  We were relocating from Colorado where we had lived since 1996.  Our children were born in Chicago and except for a brief stint in Iowa, do not remember anything except living in Colorado.  Colorado was home for them.

The kids completed their High School years and entered college.  We bid them a fond farewell and left them in Colorado for Mississippi.  It was self preservation for us more than anything else.  Colorado was a harsh place.

When we arrived in Mississippi, I was very ill.  MFH tells me now that he did not expect me to be alive in five more years.  I was very heavy.  I was on 13 different medications.  It was not a happy time.

Mississippi was kind to us.  I found new Doctors.  One in particular gave me a new lease on life.  I owe a great deal to this man.

I have a chronic condition.  It is something that I will have with me all my life.  That is okay.  I have accepted that and have learned to live with it.  All is well…most of the time.  HA!   🙂

Today, I had a follow up with that particular Doctor.  He has gradually taken me from the 13 medications I was taking when we first moved here down to two.  Pretty awesome, right!?!

Well, today, he took away one more!!!  How awesome is that!?!  The last one I will always be on.  Nothing can be done about that.  But hey, he took away the expensive one!  Bells and Whistles!  The one he took away was close to $500.00 a month!  Think of all the things you can buy with an extra $500.00!!!

Shopping!!!   HA!  Well, maybe not that.  Maybe pay some bills.  That is rather dull but practical.  I am sure the people to whom we owe money would appreciate it, though   🙂

So, that is my NSV.  Only ONE medication.  I can hardly stand it I am so excited!!!

…and who says nothing good happens on Mondays?
