Good thoughts up for your friend. Best wishes on this challenge. JL
He has had a rough time with it. He apparently denied that he had it, and I let him have a couple of shots before we went to the ranch, and he missed at 50 yards. One he didn't see at 25 yards and cost me the shot. On the way home I made him stop driving and I drove home. I discussed it with his wife and was informed that he had been told that he had diabetes and was denying it until our trip. He got mad at me for telling his wife and didn't speak to me for about a year.
That was about 7-8 years ago, and he has it under control but no more hunting and fishing as he is too brittle.
