Day 3 - morning check-in


Just got off the phone with our hero. He's in his chair already, but was preoccupied with the fact that his french toast is missing from his breakfast tray - Oh No! That's still his favorite menu item, so the day is off to a disappointing start. If this is his biggest problem today, we have nothing at all to worry about! And he does get real milk (instead of rice milk) on his cereal, now that he has a working kidney, so all is not lost. I am heading to the hospital soon so I can walk with him when it's time. Will report back later with whatever today brings.

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.
