Maybe Later...

Dear Faithful Readers-

Due to the large outcry I have decided to do a Transplant Trib anyway. As the cryptic subject line suggests my last visit to UCSF was one of good news/bad news. The good news is I am feeling as good as I have in several years, physically and mentally. The bad news is that I am still not sick enough to raise my priority position. The current thinking is to enjoy the present condions but if I have another "event" like I did during the Holidays there may be some re-thinking on this.

So that's what I am going to do. I am enjoying driving my little sports car again and helping Dear Cheryl around the house more. Still doing cardiac rehab exercise and of course dialysis.

That's the whole story right now....thanks for your interest.

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.
