Another Quiet One
Pretty much nothing going on today. The Doc Entourage was only 2 of them today (probably doesn't qualify as an Entourage in this case). The visit lasted about 30 seconds of which 25 were spent by Dr. DeMarco looking at the pictures Leslie put on the bulletin board.
I was delighted to have a visit from Cheryl today.
This afternoon's heart and lung transplant support group meeting was canceled but at least we did not waste a trip to The City like did a few months ago. We came on the wrong day that time. Our social worker came by tell us she is retiring next month.
That pretty much covers it for today.
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.
Hello Irv,
ReplyDeleteI've been absent from these proceedings for far to long. So I thought I would piggyback on Robin's log in to check in with you.
Just wanted to let you know that you are at the top of our prayer list each week in our Bible study group. Everyone asks how you are doing and is there any news.
Here's a few words from David that might be of comfort during your quiet time:
Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Psalm 36:5
This passage by King David, is written by a man who has been betrayed by his friends(much in the same way your body has betrayed you), yet he looks to God's love as his refuge. As with David, God's Love & Faithfulness can be your source of strength.
Can't wait to see you flying down the road with the top down, radio turned up to 11!
