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"

Prayers for Dad Posted by Krista on 2/22/2026, 7:47 am Dad turned the wrong way and fell at home last night. He has a broken hip and they will operate within the next couple of days. They also said he has a low blood count and will need blood before the operation. The doc actually said he is "anemic". I'm not Dr googling as I will freak out. Wouldn't it be amazing if there were some way they could do the colorectal cancer operation while he was there? His physio has access to scans and told Dad / Paul that the polyps have been growing and Paul has saw some blood in his stools. I am praying that God has it in his plans somehow to align the operations. Doc last night told us that the hip replacement surgery has amazing results and most people could actually walk out of the surgery room themselves and that recovery is easy compared to knees. Please say a prayer. Thankfully heart and O2 levels are all good.

Update: operating today Posted by Krista on 2/22/2026, 8:38 am, in reply to "Prayers for Dad" Heading there now!

Prayers Krista Posted by Cindyh on 2/23/2026, 4:29 am, in reply to "Update: operating today" I’m so sorry. I assume he had surgery. This is horrible.

Prayers.... yes of course. Posted by Beverly on 2/22/2026, 10:47 pm, in reply to "Update: operating today" I am so sorry to hear this. Wish him to get thru this with as little pain as possible. Hugs, sweetie.

Update Posted by Krista on 2/22/2026, 2:03 pm, in reply to "Update: operating today" Still no update - they have given him all the pain meds they can and he has been screaming in pain for the last hour This is heartbreaking

Krista Posted by Beverly on 2/22/2026, 10:49 pm, in reply to "Update" Oh my heart aches at the thought of the pain your Dad is having. They need to control the pain please. Love you, dear friend.

Surgery is over? Posted by Paula on 2/22/2026, 6:30 pm, in reply to "Update" There's no excuse for them not to be able to manage his pain. My guess is that they are worried about his cardiac status. So hard....

They are giving max dose Posted by Krista on 2/23/2026, 5:25 pm, in reply to "Surgery is over?" Twice whatever the norm is every 4 hours
