Tony's Health Report

After Tony's last blog, we had an honest heart to heart. It was difficult for him to hear, but I had to remind him that he is not getting younger. We were encouraged to have his eyes checked to see if his contact prescription is still accurate. He was challenged to drink more water. (it's still quite warm here). So, after seeing the Optometrist and hearing that the contacts are fine, we had to consider the questions that she raised during the examination. The key question: "Do you spend a lot of time at the computer?" Following that visit, we explored the possibility that he may need a pair of reading glasses for up close work, like computer and reading his Bible.

He looks really funny wearing my reading glasses, but he was humble enough to try them. The results? The past week, his headaches have been manageable - more "normal." There may still be some underlying issues such as chronic sinus problems, but at least we are moving in the right direction. Whew! That was a tough road to walk. Oh, in case you're wondering - I'm trying to catch a picture of him wearing my glasses, but.... well, he's just too quick for me!
