Update

Ron received his official - "You're on the transplant list" from Piedmont Hospital. The letter also mentioned he should stay healthy, eat right, take care of himself..........so, Friday he decided to cancel his motorcycle insurance and give his bike a rest. I think taking any risk at this point in time isn't a good idea. If he dropped his bike - broke a leg - and a liver became available - well, he'd miss it.

Along with Ron's Hep C - he's battling diabetes. Tonight his blood sugar dropped to 40 - he was moving in slow motion and dripping in sweat. A tube of glucose, 2 glasses of juice and 30 minutes later - his blood sugar is 66 (normal blood sugar ranges from 90-120).

Ron is experiencing regular nausea after evening meals - from what I've read - it's caused by the liver cancer. I think if he eats smaller meals and more often - it may help - we'll see.
