The last time I had an EKG the doctor who read it said there was no sign of it and looked at me like he thought I was making it uo all along. I can sometimes feel it at night if I'm lying on my right side. I hope your eyes continue to have no changes. I think I'm starting into macular degeneration and it isn't pleasant.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639565805712793802.post-4233665870298177212013-09-06T05:06:28.547-06:002013-09-06T05:06:28.547-06:00Yes, our two were down a bit in their weight when ...Yes, our two were down a bit in their weight when they had their visits to the vet last week.
