And Now to Enjoy the Weekend

Another hair-raising chapter is somewhat complete in this epic tale of transplant adventures. After enjoying a pleasant morning of Peet's best, French toast (at last...thanks TJ's) and our kitty Lucy we are about to set out on a few errands in preparation for one of our favorite (OK my favorite) weekends of the year. Featured will be viewing of the Indy 500, the Coke 600, and the Turkish (?) Grand Prix. Foremost, however, is attending the soon-to-be-famous Henry 150 celebrating the combined birthdays of Daniel and Mary (Mom) Henry. Fun ahead!

Starting Tuesday we have another semi-busy week of mixed medical obligations. Prime amongst these will be the determination of what exactly is causing these kidney problems and what the course of treatment may be. Thursday will be fully spent again at Puzzle Palace of Parnassus at kidney clinic, heart clinic and another cytogam infusion.

But for now, "let the wild rumpus begin"!

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.
