Ron has Hepatitis C - which is layman's terms means - there is a free-floating virus in his blood that is slowly (now more rapidly) killing his liver. Liver means life - much like the heart - you can't live without it. Much different than the heart; a heart transplant means new heart and healthy life. A liver transplant means new liver, but the clever virus never leaves the blood and begins immediately (sometimes more quickly) killing the new liver. A liver transplant buys more time............ The entire process is dependant on time - and timing.

The Purpose
We're beginning this long journey here at the starting line. As Ron lays sleeping on the couch, I contemplate our journey. As oblivious as he seems to be, here at this moment, I realize he has to live with the constant thought of his mortality and the knowledge of what the loss of him would mean to his family.
I must say, flat-out, I am a glass half empty type of girl; I will always think the worse, because I believe if I am too optomistic, the mere glimpse of sunshine is only a flash in the pan and not the proverbial sun-shiny day.......sunny days bring storm clouds and torrencial rains.
So as we begin, I want to thank those who read this blog - if you're reading - you have a love for this complicated - yet simple - loving man.
