Lower heart rate 9 months post-surgery

My wife had her nephrectomy performed in July last year and there are times now when her heart rate is quite a bit lower than it was before the op - going down to low 60s bpm. She'll be 70 this summer and although she can be reasonably active, she doesn't do any exercise (never has). She has lost some weight since the op and this may play some part in it, but i dont think it'll be a huge one. She also starts feeling cold in the evenings if sitting and doing something like watching TV and not moving a great deal. Has anybody else had anything similar?

A major frustration I have with her is that she just "ignores" things like this and I need to try and almost force her to do something. If I get my approach wrong, she just digging her heels in, of course. Any help would be appreciated!
