Progress
Well, we're making progress. Tom saw the family Dr. yesterday and he changed some meds. The cough is greatly lessened already, and the swelling (fluid retention) is going down. He goes back to see him again Fri. Then next Tues. we go to see a P.A. who specializes in congestive heart failure. We'll see what she has to say.
As for me, I managed to get the eye drops in today. I was more worried about that than about the surgery. I had cataracts removed from one eye about 10 years ago and it was quick and easy. At that time the Dr. said he'd make some small slits to lessen the astigmatism. Well, that made it worse. That was my bad eye. Now they are going to do the good eye, but the technology has improved since then, so I am hopeful that my vision will be improved, or at least maintained. I also have glaucoma, so would like to continue seeing as long as possible. I need to be able to drive safely. And I love to read, work jigsaw puzzles, and read computer. I realize you can enlarge the words on computer, and I will do that when I have to.
I inherited the astigmatism from my father. On the whole he was very healthy most of his life, and I have been too. I'm thankful for that.
Enough about me. Now I'm going to read what the rest of you have written.

You two are in my prayers. I had that eye surgery and so far so good.
I'm so pleased to hear the good news about your husband! The right medications can work wonders! I hope the eye surgery works to improve your vision. I will be praying.
So glad for progress.
Honey had a cataract replaced with a new lens and he sees well with it. He can't see close up things very good but he had to wear glasses for that. I have bad astigmatism too. Glad about Tom's return to health again. They can do so many things to make congestive heart failure better these days. God bless you with good people to take care of that!
