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"

Wednesday gratitudes… Posted by Cindy on 4/15/2026, 10:08 am Please share!

Wednesday gratitude Posted by Delta on 4/16/2026, 12:58 am, in reply to "Wednesday gratitudes…" My husband said he felt better today than he has since a few months before surgery. The steroids must have done the job because he is not coughing, doesn't have pain in his chest and lower jaw, and is getting some energy back. It is amazing how fast infection can set in. Grandkids that are always there when we need them, usually without us asking. Our daughter finally got in to see a highly rated neurologist. It is mid-May, but that is better than the end of August or mid-September. Paring down our stuff. This is hard. We may end up in a divorce over it. I am just grateful that it is going as well as it is. Oldest grandson called to tell us that he and his wife heard of new job openings in the town where his wife is from, and both of them applied to see what happened. They were both offered jobs that they are excited about. He will have to take OSHA testing to be finalized, but he has taken OSHA tests for every job he has ever had and always aced them. That means that they will be back close enough to see again instead of 6.5 hours away and never getting off when he is supposed to visit anyone. My mother has tentatively broached the subject of coming to live with us again to both my husband and me. She is having a hard time giving up her life there, but she has lost most of her friends in the past year, and her eyesight and hearing are getting worse and worse so it is getting harder to live alone.

My five. Posted by Beverly on 4/15/2026, 11:55 am, in reply to "Wednesday gratitudes…" Mike has been helpful in getting my bills on auto pay. 4 days of warm weather. I've been able to keep door open between dining room and 3 season back porch. PMKK is so happy just going in and out on her own. Eight hours of sleep per night .... the past 2 nights!! 😊🩷🙂🤩 Primary doctor gave me a list of therapists to see... containing 15 practices. How am I suppose to know which one and who? You wonderful, loving, helpful, caring ladies. I love all of you!

I am glad that Posted by Delta on 4/15/2026, 1:44 pm, in reply to "My five." Mike is taking that load off your shoulders. Love days when the windows can be open. As far as finding a practice I always look up the patient reviews when looking for a new doctor and rate them according to how I would like to try them. If one doesn't work out I try the next on the list. May not be a good way but it is a way. Probably will make Paula's toes curl.

Google up reviews Posted by Krista on 4/15/2026, 12:13 pm, in reply to "My five." I'm betting you can find patient reviews online.

My 5 Posted by Cindyh on 4/15/2026, 10:43 am, in reply to "Wednesday gratitudes…" Spent the whole weekend visiting Felicia and the kids. It was so nice! Monday had 2 injections in my foot. It has been hurting to walk where my ankle is fused and also the joint right on top of the foot where I have arthritis in it. Lots of steroid. It’s had me flared. It’s worth it for pain relief and better walking Mammogram yesterday. Been putting it off because of the way you have to lift and move your shoulder. Glad to have it done All Paula’s posts and the wonderful time she’s having All the beautiful weather we are having Finally found a snowball bush! I’ve been looking for quite a long time. Found one!! I had one growing up.

I hope that your Posted by Delta on 4/15/2026, 1:34 pm, in reply to "My 5" shots help you with the pain. Where did you find a snowball bush? I have been wanting one forever. Grandma, Mama, and all her sisters had them when I grew up, and I loved them. I am so happy that you found one.

My five… Posted by Cindy on 4/15/2026, 10:18 am, in reply to "Wednesday gratitudes…" 1. Modern medicine. So grateful that there are procedures in the world to help with what hurts. 2. Ken’s surgery date has arrived. Praying that this works! Grateful for the doctors, nurses, technicians that will be helping us today. 3. Being able to take off work the rest of the week and Monday to help Ken. They will be calling to have him turn up and down his stimulator to get the right strength. 4. Coffee and the big blue board in the morning. 5. All of Paula’s posts. Love going along on her adventure!

I know that Posted by Delta on 4/15/2026, 1:41 pm, in reply to "My five…" the surgery is probably over by now, but I hope everything has gone well and will continue to do so from here on out. I hope this really helps his pain.

Hope all goes well Posted by Cindyh on 4/15/2026, 10:37 am, in reply to "My five…" I agree. So nice there is so much to help us
