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"

More sad news for Dad Posted by Krista on 12/17/2025, 7:29 pm He had a catscan on his foot and they found a blockage in an artery. His family doc sent along results to foot surgeon who he was referred to but hasn't seen yet. No idea how long that will take. His family doc is concerned that the stress test (Jan 2) results may show he isn't strong enough for surgery to resolve. He is dizzy very often now. Family doc has gone through all meds and prev MRI scans and has no idea what is causing it. Dad almost fell today and knocked over / broke a google. I cam only imagine how frustrating this has to be. No solutions and no next steps and increasing more and more. Dad agreed to get a hearing aid but the soonest they can get him in is Jan 16. My Dad and brother sound so defeated and there's nothing I can do to help but pray.

Don't underestimate how much just your presence can make. Posted by Paula on 12/18/2025, 10:01 am, in reply to "More sad news for Dad" They likely need someone just to vent to. They may even need someone to take their anger (the actual manifestation of their internal fear). You can stand by them. So sorry for all of you.
