And so on, and so on.......

Yet another day without news, but I hate to leave this space blank for any length of time! Robert J is still waiting very patiently for something wonderful to happen
(like a transplant, for example). He has rediscovered the joys of reading novels, after years of focusing almost entirely on automotive magazines. He burned through 2 books already this week (thanks, D and C), and requested that I show up with more today, so I made a stop at the library on my way over.
I am visiting on non-dialysis days, and trying to stay focused on my job on my days at home. We talk several times each day on the phone. Can't imagine how this would be working without our cell phones, facebook and email!
Looking forward to a visit tomorrow by Gary and Terre, and perhaps Andy too.
That's about it, as the waiting game continues for a calm and currently stable Robert J.

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.
