Long Time, No Blog

Sorry to ignore my blog for so long. Fact is as has been the case nothing to report. This means nothing bad too so it is definitely not all gloom and doom. I did visit the docs recently and it was the same story; stay well and keep your phone charged.

We met a very nice couple at the UCSF Support Group. He has had a heart-kidney transplant and is doing great. He has much the same health history as me; diabetes, dialysis, and of course heart issues. What he has that I don't is a 1989 Ferrari Testarossa that he allowed me to sit in at his house. They had invited us over to Pacifica for their annual block party which was quite nice.

In a couple of weeks I will be having a sleep study to determine why I am so tired all the time. I will stay overnight and be observed sleeping out in Walnut Creek. Sounds like a blast.

Had a great dinner in Sacto the other night to celebrate Andy's 29th BD. Leslie was able to join us and of course Linsey was there with her new jewelry. Plans are moving ahead on that as well so right now everyone seems content.

That about handles it for now

RJ/Bob/Irv is a 61-year-old beloved husband, father, uncle, brother, motor racing fanatic, and Livermore resident who received a heart and kidney transplant in February of 2010. Bob's recent years have been defined by his health, which forced him into early retirement. Unfortunately, many of his days were spent in a dialysis center or at various medical appointments, primarily due to his living with diabetes for over 40 years. Numerous were panic visits to various Emergency Rooms all over California for treatment of chest pain. But now no more dialysis and no more late-night dashes to UCSF! The main focus of Bob's family, friends, and doctors has been a prompt transplant, so that he can get back to traveling with his Sweetie, driving fast cars, enjoying great music and laughing with his friends. This blog will function as a way to communicate with all interested parties and to keep everyone informed. And hopefully it can serve a great purpose also, in making people more aware of the importance of organ donation and how each life saved has a positive effect on dozens of related friends and relatives.
