Back in Bizz

Hi everyone and thank you for your interest in reading this. Most everything is back to normal except for the aforementioned bleeding at dialysis. Today's issue was low blood pressure which necessitated Cheryl coming to get me. We are chock full of appointments the next few weeks including hematology, neurology, cardiology, vascular surgeon and even a guy who is showing me how to use my new sleeping mask.

We are looking forward to our annual trip to Capitola for Thanksgiving. Looks like the weather will be nice and there will be plenty to eat and drink. I wish a fine Thanksgiving to everyone.

    We're glad you are back home and your annual Thanksgiving retreat is soon! Norm bought a silver Cayman yesterday. It is really beautiful: quiet, a wonderful Bose sound system, and not rattle-y like the Boxster. However, he will never live this down: he bought it on my birthday for himself, and I got a low- flush toilet for a present!
    Are you going to the SF car show this year?

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.
