That's not good. He needs to take things easy, maybe you guys should take him to a doctor to see if there's any special diet he can be on or maybe the doctor can persuade him to change his habits.

Can you xplain what you mean by mods?

If he had to go to one more Dr he would get mad. As they say they are set in their ways and are not going to change. They are happy eating the foods they enjoy and make them happy. They still get around on their own, can cook, and bathe themselves, etc. The dog keeps them active by taking her out to the yard. They just need rides to go places like to Dr appointments and help geting up stairs.
82 and 83 are not that old by today’s standards, but I say they fair better then most their age. The lady who lives across the street from me is going to have her 100th b-day party on April 1st. My grandparents are looking forward to getting out and going to her party.
