Medical Shopping

By | Health and Fitness, Shopping, Travel | No Comments

In the States, you can find anything and everything!  This trip, James, Dina and I went around shopping for things for Dad.

First stop was this place which Isa recommended 

medical-shopping-01.jpgmedical-shopping-02.jpg

They have all kinds of things to aid the elderly.  Amazing!

medical-shopping-03.jpgmedical-shopping-04.jpg

Then we went to Sleep Train which specializes in mattresses

medical-shopping-09.jpg

We were looking at beds that can go up and down like a hospital bed 🙂

medical-shopping-010.jpg

We love Stearns and Foster, the one who makes the mattresses for the Four Seasons Hotel

Previous entry:  Mattress from the Four Seasons Hotel January 6, 2012 

medical-shopping-011.jpgmedical-shopping-012.jpg

In the States there are so many choices to make.  I don’t know if that is good or it just complicates our purchase 🙂

medical-shopping-013.jpgmedical-shopping-014.jpg

Next stop Lazboy 🙂

medical-shopping-016.jpg

Our salesman 🙂

medical-shopping-018.jpg

We got this lazboy because it lifts so it is easier to get up!

medical-shopping-020.jpgmedical-shopping-017.jpg

And then we went to check out wheelchairs 🙂 Believe me when I say they have everything!  

medical-shopping-05.jpg

This was a place just selling wheelchairs- ALL KINDS!

medical-shopping-06.jpg

The owner of the place 🙂  He told us they can customize any kind of wheelchair – the size, the kind, the color – you name it.  He even said there is a wheelchair that costs US$ 20,000!

medical-shopping-021.jpg medical-shopping-019.jpg

They can even do this for your car!

King of Thai Noodle House San Francisco

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We went to the city to check out a store and we were so hungry – it was around 3pm and we had not eaten our lunch yet coming from Danville.  We parked the car and we saw this place!  It was jam packed for 3pm.  More people kept coming in

king-of-thai-noodle-house-06.jpgking-of-thai-noodle-house-09.jpgking-of-thai-noodle-house-01.jpgking-of-thai-noodle-house-02.jpg

We enjoyed the thai food that we had – this curry was squash based instead of coconut based
