Fun Sunday (cont)

I do notknow what happened to the first part of this post.....sorry.

As I was saying I was checking out my email, Facebook and timing and scoring for the Daytona 24 Hr all at the same time. I had The Stones on with my headphones when the docs arrived. I was faced the other way so it was not until the Chief Doc waved her hand in my face that I knew they were there. She asked what I was listening to and when I told her she told me she really likes The Stones. She said that if nothing happens in the next few days that "we will have make some decisions". Hmmmmmm....so we will need to decide if I will go or stay on until the transplant. Both are potentially unpleasant.
Had a very nice visit with my Brubbie and Terre. Sorry to report that Andy had to work but he is planning to come tomorrow. I will be in dialysis and also have an ultrasound that was scheduled several weeks ago. So I may be out of my room a large part of the day.
I am ignoring the Grammies right now and writing this post on the blog. I will return soon.

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.
