The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Awake for a minute Posted by Paula on 6/6/2025, 3:38 am Surgeon wasn't able to do the fusion because of the cement from the kyphoplasty! I didn't come to until about 6:30 and didn't talk to him or to Deborah. Nurse said he cleaned things out and performed a laminectomy on a few vertebrae. Pain meds helping but head aches and nauseous. Could be hungry. Not sure. Going to ask my nurse for some crackers and gingerale. It's 2:45 . Hope I can fall back asleep.
