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"

Krista, when you can, please catch us up. Posted by Paula on 2/23/2026, 9:29 am You are on all of our minds and in our hearts.

11 am still waiting Posted by Krista on 2/24/2026, 10:57 am, in reply to "Krista, when you can, please catch us up." Thankfully not in pain

Prayers Posted by Cindyh on 2/24/2026, 11:48 am, in reply to "11 am still waiting " Still Krista. Is the 2nd person in yet??

I believe they are Posted by Krista on 2/24/2026, 4:24 pm, in reply to "Prayers " But he hasn't heard anything and its now close to 430

Prayer he IS next. Posted by Beverly on 2/24/2026, 7:57 pm, in reply to "I believe they are" This storm is slowing things... I am so, so sorry!!! Praying for the hands of the doctor's and nurses find their way for the best results I am so glad your brother will come to your house. Love you, sweetie.

Final update for today Posted by Krista on 2/24/2026, 8:40 pm, in reply to " Prayer he IS next." No surgery 840 pm. I talked to a nurse who told me the longest she has ever seen someone wait was a week. Because he has feeling in his feet and legs, he isn't as high a priority as others who come in even after him, she explained. Thank God, he isn't in pain today. That's the blessing in this. Thank you all for your support during this difficult time.

Unbelievable! Posted by Joan on 2/25/2026, 7:11 am, in reply to "Final update for today" Wow! I don't know what to say! Continued prayers, of course!

Wow Posted by Cindyh on 2/24/2026, 10:42 pm, in reply to "Final update for today" I don’t even know what to say or more importantly how you must feel. I’m truly sorry and will keep all of you in prayers.

How nerve-wracking! Posted by Paula on 2/24/2026, 9:22 pm, in reply to "Final update for today" I'm sure you all just want it done. Sleep well,.ttk.

7 am on Tuesday update Posted by Krista on 2/24/2026, 6:41 am, in reply to "Krista, when you can, please catch us up." I'm heading in now, Paul has been there for 22 hours - could not leave due to storm. Ray just cleared our driveway 12-18 inch drifts. I have told Paul to come here to rest as I can't imagine coming home and doing his driveway after all this. Docs will be in soon there Paul heard. They were on a "skeleton crew" last night due to the storm.

Oh my... Posted by Joan on 2/24/2026, 6:47 am, in reply to "7 am on Tuesday update" The weather is making everything so much worse! I'm so sorry, Krista! I wish I could help! Be assured of my continued prayers, of course!

Dad is 3rd on list Posted by Krista on 2/24/2026, 6:45 am, in reply to "7 am on Tuesday update" First guy just went in so they said Dad would be today OR tonight. Lord please be with us.

Re: Dad is 3rd on list Posted by alexseen on 3/4/2026, 1:24 pm, in reply to "Dad is 3rd on list" I live in Porto and sometimes help classmates prepare short essays and opinion posts. Before sending anything, I prefer to double-check wording just for peace of mind. I found Quillbot checker tool free and tested a few paragraphs from different drafts. The results were easy to read, with simple explanations and no overload of data. It felt useful for everyday checks and didn’t make me feel like I was doing something wrong.

Glad you made it in. Posted by Paula on 2/24/2026, 9:14 am, in reply to "Dad is 3rd on list" Prayers for a good outcome and for peace and strength for each of you. Love you.

Sweet Jesus... Posted by Joan on 2/24/2026, 6:49 am, in reply to "Dad is 3rd on list" Hear our prayers! Be with Krista's Dad and family!

Still no operation Posted by Krista on 2/23/2026, 11:05 am, in reply to "Krista, when you can, please catch us up." Bad pain. Should be today after 3 (regular scheduled surgeries go first) thanks for caring all!

Glad to get an update…. Posted by Cindy on 2/23/2026, 11:57 am, in reply to "Still no operation" Keeping you all in my prayers. How awful it is taking so long for them to operate. (((((HUGS)))))

So glad it's today.... I hope this will ease his pain... Posted by Beverly on 2/23/2026, 11:27 am, in reply to "Still no operation" and help him in the long run. He is deep in my heart right now. Hugs.

Still not in Posted by Krista on 2/23/2026, 5:02 pm, in reply to "So glad it's today.... I hope this will ease his pain..." He was 3rd on list after regular schedule but hasn't heard anything yet and it's 5 pm.

Won't be until tomorrow Posted by Krista on 2/23/2026, 8:04 pm, in reply to "Still not in" They just let him know that it won't be until tomorrow. I couldn't get to hospital as our city hit by huge storm. Roads dangerous, accidents, no plows, almost no visibility. My brother is alone with him and I feel awful about that. They are giving him transfusions due to anemia. He has shoulder pain now which my brother is worried is his heart. They are monitoring him but this is ortho - not a unit that has patients under a watchful eye. Sad situation for sure.

Oh my goodness. Posted by Cindyh on 2/23/2026, 11:51 pm, in reply to "Won't be until tomorrow" I’m so sorry. Many prayers. Hugs Krista

He should be a little stronger after the blood transfusion. Posted by Paula on 2/23/2026, 10:25 pm, in reply to "Won't be until tomorrow" Would Paul be comforted by talking with the hospital chaplain? Like Cindy, I am glad you are home and safe. Get sleep while you can.

They have been in touch with their minister Posted by Krista on 2/24/2026, 6:39 am, in reply to "He should be a little stronger after the blood transfusion. " talking back and forth so that's a good thing. Great idea Paula.

Hopefully …. Posted by Cindy on 2/23/2026, 8:24 pm, in reply to "Won't be until tomorrow" He will be up first for surgery tomorrow. I pray he can get some relief from the pain. I’m so sorry this is happening Krista. I know you want to be up there but I’m glad you are safe at home in that storm.
