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"

update Posted by Beverly on 10/11/2025, 10:31 pm Murray had chemo on Wednesday, Thursday & Friday. He came thru it it very well. The only side effect he had was after the third round he had a head ache. The nurse told him to drink a lot of water and the headache went away. Overall he is doing better. He looks he looks like he is feeling better, He is taking medicine for his fungal infection and the bacterial infection. Plus they drained the liquid from the plurelle effusion. Today he has transferred to a rehab facility to help with his physical strength, breathing etc. Nancy and Erika go back to Ohio tomorrow. Mandy and Barbara are going home on Monday. Yesterday, I dropped and egg on the floor and I cleaned it up sitting on my rollerater (a walker with wheels). I stretched every which way. But mostly one way. I pulled a muscle or 2 big time. I can't walk with out getting a sharp pain. They are hurting and aching. lower back, hamstring and hip...+ Phooey. I think I can get better if I rest it, ice it, gentle stretches etc. However, I have to cancel my colonoscopy again. I would have to lay in an awkward position doing it. The gastro office might be mad as I have cancelled 2 times this year. I need to get healed from the fall. Thank you for caring about me/us and loving us, dear friends.

Beverly, I wish I was there to hug you Posted by Delta on 10/12/2025, 2:15 pm, in reply to "update" It sounds like Murray is handling the chemo well; that is a big plus. I am glad that they are trying to get him stronger before sending him home. I hate to hear that all that stretching to clean up the egg made you hurt so. Just a hint for next time. Sprinkle a good amount of meal over the egg, tape a cloth or paper towels over your broom and push the mess into a dust pan. The meal soaks up a lot of the slipperiness and mess, and it usually pushes right up. You can then mop the area with warm, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Still a bit of a job, but so much easier on the body. I hope that this event will stop hurting soon.

Beverly... Posted by Joan on 10/12/2025, 9:13 am, in reply to "update" Thank you for taking the time to post an update during this difficult time. I will continue to be one of your Prayer Warriors!

Beverly Posted by Paula on 10/12/2025, 9:12 am, in reply to "update" So sorry that you hurt yourself! Fortunately/unfortunately, you have experience dealing with these injuries! Take your time, do what you need to do to get better. It's good to hear that Murray tolerated the first round of chemo. Is the rehab facility near you?

I’m glad for the update… Posted by Cindy on 10/12/2025, 4:10 am, in reply to "update" I am sure Murray is glad to be getting out of the hospital-even if it is to a rehab facility. Did the say how long he will have to stay there? So sorry to hear you are in pain. I’m hoping your parts and pieces feel better soon. Love you.

Beverly Posted by Cindyh on 10/12/2025, 12:38 am, in reply to "update" I'm so.sorry! That sounds so painful and don't worry about them being mad. You have to take care of you and heal. I'm sorry you are in so much pain. I'm glad Murray did well with Chemo. That's great news. Prayers and hugs
