Some Nooz

I was scheduled for dialysis this morning at 8:30. It is now almost 1:00 and I am still in my room. I keep forgetting I am on Hospital Standard Time which does whatever it wants. Wait a minute......the guy with the wheel chair is here now. I will be back in a while.............

(Five hours pass)


OK I am back and finished my very nice chicken taco salad. Anyway, this morning I was visited by the Doc Entourage. I asked today's Chief Doc what was the plan if I did not get the transplant by Feb. 3. She said I would be put back to 1B and sent home. This of course surprises me since I have been told I was here for the duration. I am not trippin' as this decision could switch a hundred times. Nothing on the schedule for tomorrow but that could change in a New York Minute.

All for now........

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.
