Very funny David....LOL...All in all Ron is doing good! His saliva never did come back so a water bottle has become part of his right hand. We've become experts in knowing how many water bottles to bring whenever we go anywhere. Ron is a finish Carpenter and use to work 6-7 days a week. After the cancer diagnosis, it made him totally re-evaluate his life. He now takes more time to "smell the roses" if you know what I mean. At his last checkup the Doctor at UCLA said "see you in a year Mr. Hoover". It was music to his ears....
