Just wanted to give everyone an update on my grandfather. I talked to him last night. With everything going on I forgot to mention in my orginal post that he has macular degeneration in his left eye only. But, he started bleeding in his right eye about a month ago and they didn't do any treatment on it that said that the majority that it would clear itself up. Well it didn't but when I spoke with him last night he said that they can do laser treatments on it to make it where he can see better. How much better they don't know.
This is great news. My mom & I were talking last night and he is in excellent health other than his eyes, but I know that he would go downhill fast.
The doctor he saw yesterday said that the bleeding was a result of high blood pressure which he takes 3 pills a day for. I told him he needs to have them take blood and do lab work to check all of his medicine and adjust it if needed. That will all the blood pressure medication he is on that should not have happened.
Anyway I just wanted to updat everyone. He goes back to the eye doctor on Friday but doesn't think that this office does the laser treatments, so they will be sending him someplace else for that probably next week.
Thanks everyone for listening. |
