Mellow Sunday at last

We really enjoyed Gary and Terre's extended visit this weekend. They ran a lot of errands for us and then hung out with Bob all afternoon watching today's nascar race. I took off and got a closer look at the nice weather and our blooming yard for the first time in a couple of weeks. That was fun for me, and I know my dear husband had to be glad for a break from my constant reminders and suggestions about what I think is best for him!

We are hoping for some solution/ resolution to all the fluid drainage Bob continues to experience. He said he's constantly hearing the song "Up on Cripple Creek" in his mind, so of course I am too. Good thing we both like The Band a lot! We will be calling the transplant coordinator Monday morning after lab work is done to see if the team has a plan after viewing Friday's ultrasounds.

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.
