Hi Shelly; Good for Ron! An nice drink with good company is something of great healing value. My doc told me to feel free to have a drink or a glass of wine, even in the midst of the rads. Alas the damage to my mouth and throat is such that having a nice drink is still an impossiblity for me. I've tried a little watered wine, but it still burns too much to enjoy- that's after 5 months.
I rejoice with you and Ron that he can pick up some regular living fairly soon...don't let anyone turn you away from enjoying yourselves! Ever!
Blessings to you both, Fran
