Jan. 20th, continued

Robert J is reporting that dialysis is scheduled any minute now, then he will be having another cardiac cath to see if there are any new blockages since the last cath. If there are, repair options will be considered. The docs also want him to have the much-delayed chemical stress test after all.....not sure in what order this will happen after dialysis. He says no reason for visitors today since he will be out of his room most of the day. I may go in later, if the weather clears. ( I was lucky to dodge most of the storms yesterday in my 2 round-trips, so don't feel like tempting fate today). I will try and get some sleep between noon and two then decide my plan.

    Hi Bob dearest,

    I enjoy reading your blog. You and Cheryll have that gift of making humor out of otherwise, unpleasant things. JP is on his way back from CR and I have to tell you that we are so sad today....to announce that we just sold our house in Costa Rica. It happened so fast, JP will fill you in on it.

    Hang in there and keep writing.....you and Cheryll are always in our thoughts..

    Hugs,

    Cora and JP

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.
