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"

Tuesday gratitudes…. Posted by Cindy on 6/16/2026, 12:33 pm Whatcha thankful for?

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 6/16/2026, 3:06 pm, in reply to "Tuesday gratitudes…." 1) Dad is in the hospital where he needs to be. Today they have a wound vac on his incision site, are giving him antibiotics through an IV as well and the cancer doctor put a tube (in his butt!) to help with draining. Hopefully he will be ok. Physio were there this morning but he wasn't able to get further than sitting on the bed for a few minutes 2) Ray and you gals who support me through so much 3) a gorgeous sunny warm day here - even though I didn't get to spend any of it outdoors 4) we had a great time at our party on Saturday night. Had about 27 people come and they all had a wonderful time as did we! Bonfire, lots to eat, karoake and friends catching up 5) time to post with my fave ladies (albiet I am at the radio station checking in!)

Thanks for updating us Posted by Delta on 6/17/2026, 8:46 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" He is right where he needs to be at the moment. I was there a week or 10 days for the infection, and it took another five months to feel like myself again, but I was nearly half his age at the time, so he may take longer to heal. I hope not, but if he is, don't let it get you or him down. Healing time is better than what he was facing before the surgery.

Question Posted by Delta on 6/17/2026, 8:48 pm, in reply to "Thanks for updating us" How did everyone react to your weight loss at your party? I hope it was everything you imagined!

Everything and more Posted by Krista on 6/18/2026, 5:28 pm, in reply to "Question" They were blown away

Thank you for the update! Posted by Joan on 6/17/2026, 7:09 am, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" It sounds as if the hospital is taking great care of your Dad. He's where he needs to be right now! 27 people at your party! I bet it was a wonderful, and I hope somewhat relaxing and rejuvenating!

Krista… Posted by Cindy on 6/17/2026, 12:17 am, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" It sounds like they are taking good care of your dad. Is Paul staying up there 24/7 or taking advantage of the fact that he can go home and let your dad get some rest AND let Paul get some rest too! Do they have any idea how long he will have to be in the hospital? It sounds like they are treating his infection very aggressively which is good. Take care of yourself! I know you are under a lot of stress. I’m glad your party went over well! Sounds like a great time!

Cindyh Posted by Cindyh on 6/17/2026, 11:56 am, in reply to "Krista…" Sounds like they are taking good care of him. He sure has gone through a lot All of you have. I hope he improves quickly.

Hospital Posted by Krista on 6/17/2026, 8:11 am, in reply to "Krista…" I go there from 9-12 and Paul stays from 12-8. Once we know what's going on we will get Margit back into the mix as well. No idea on how long. It will depend on whether the tube works for draining to determine next steps and whether he will be strong enough to walk. Thanks for caring and asking!

Oh Krista.... Posted by Beverly on 6/16/2026, 8:20 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" Yes... he is where he needs to be. I am so glad!!! I am holding your hand, dear friend. I love how we are here for each other.too

How are YOU doing? Posted by Krista on 6/16/2026, 9:00 pm, in reply to "Oh Krista...." I read that you had a fall! I hope you are ok!

Thanks Posted by Beverly on 6/17/2026, 9:37 am, in reply to "How are YOU doing?" I'm doing a little better...the muscle pain from the fall is subsiding. It has aggravated my sciatica, however. I move forward in baby steps. Thanks, sweetie.
