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"

Thursday Grats - what are YOU thankful for? nt Posted by Krista on 7/3/2025, 7:54 am b

My five… Posted by Cindy on 7/3/2025, 5:18 pm, in reply to "Thursday Grats - what are YOU thankful for? nt" 1. I got Solomon to and from his vet appointment today! He doesn’t like getting into the car and he doesn’t like walking on his leash! He needed a little prodding/pushing but he did great! 2. Feeling encouraged about trying a plant based diet. The dietician said that she has seen a lot of people have great results even if they are not on it 100%. She suggested making small changes and just keep adding to it. 3. I took off today and Monday and with being off tomorrow for the 4th -I used 2 vacation days to get 5 days off work! Yay! 4. Krista and Ray are hopefully getting some answers about their rash! 5. Hoping to hear that Paula will be home soon!

5 days! Posted by Cindyh on 7/4/2025, 5:37 am, in reply to "My five…" That’s great Cindy!! Do you have a return visit to the dietitian? I was wondering if you were going to try plant based. I’m here to cheer you on. I’m sure you can do anything you set your mind to.

Mine Posted by Paula on 7/3/2025, 9:07 am, in reply to "Thursday Grats - what are YOU thankful for? nt" I think I'm coming home today..They put the picc line in yesterday so I can get IV antibiotics. I am still connected to the big wound vac so have to be switched to the portable one to be a le to go home.Laat night Bill took the big box of antibiotics home and Deborah will come over tomorrow to hook me up to the antibiotics. Home health should be out tomorrow. With hospitals, there is no schedule. You just wait. Pain level is decent. Utterly exhausted. I've had wonderful people break through the mostly awful experience and thank God for them pulling me through. Many moments of kindness in the midst of incompetence. I need to have a good cry once I feel safe again. This is a lot for Bill to handle. Pray for him. It's been awful

What an ordeal! Posted by Cindyh on 7/3/2025, 8:45 pm, in reply to "Mine " I can’t believe all you’ve been through Paula. I’m just so happy you are OK. I know you will be so relieved to be home, resting and healing. Big hugs

So many things to be grateful for in here Posted by Krista on 7/3/2025, 1:50 pm, in reply to "Mine " I am glad you are moving forward Paula. Great news about the PICC, antibiotics, Bill and Deborah helping and decreased pain. We are all thinking about you!

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 7/3/2025, 8:00 am, in reply to "Thursday Grats - what are YOU thankful for? nt" 1) I am thankful that Dad is getting better with his exercise, working with Extra Mural health care team. He's also working with sleep apnea folks who are closely monitoring him. Has a family doc appt on Friday to review blood tests and his cancer doc and her colleagues are discussing the options and best way to proceed with his rectal cancer 2) I am thankful that Ray has an appointment with his dermatologist today at 1 pm. He thinks he has exactly what I have with the hives / itching. I'm still hopeful that the 6 pills I take daily are helping but it's one slow process. Hope he gets some answers today 3) beautiful weather predicted for the next couple of days 4) our Prime Minister doesn't post insane things on social platforms 5) all of you

Krista Posted by Cindyh on 7/4/2025, 5:34 am, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" I hope your Dad gets news of a good plan going forward for treatment. Please let us know. I walked this exact journey with my dad. Colo rectal cancer is a tough one. Hugs and prayers.
