Special Note from the Editor

Due to circumstances (and lack of talent) beyond our control, the latest post from your lovable star of the Transplant Tribune appears after the top post. It was completed and posted on Sept. 3, but since it was started on July 28, it fell below the August post. Make sense? Oh well..........

On another subject, we want to send positive thoughts and lots of love to our friend Allie, who is battling a bout of severe rejection of her new heart at Kaiser Santa Clara. Hang in there Allie - we expect to see you out and about soon!

    Why thank you, dear. I'm so glad you are there to direct me on that ol' Transplant Turnpike.

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.
