A couple of weeks ago Ralph had cataract surgery on his left eye. It was successful and he can now see. He said one of the most interesting things is that colors are brighter now and the doctor said that is part of aging--the color tends to fade. Yuck!

Before he went for the surgery he had to have a check up healthwise. When we called his doctor we were told he no longer worked there! Hmmm wonder if he retired? It was his practice to start with. You would think they would notify his patients!!!! At any rate, his cardiologist did the honors since he has the most recent history anyway. At that time the cardiologist was concerned about a slow heart rate. He said after the surgery Ralph was to see him for a check up and in the mean time he slightly changed his medication. The good news is that today Ralph went for that follow up and the cardiologist is very pleased with the results. They will be keeping an eye on him and want to see him again in April.

The not so good news is that Ralph has another growth on his arm similar to the one he had removed a couple of years ago. The cardiologist suggested he have a general surgeon look at it and remove it. Will keep everyone posted.

health, gimpy
