UPDATE: Bob
« on: February 14, 2010, 02:29:18 pm »
My friend Bob who has been the subject of several threads here.....is waiting to be approved for a new liver.  He has Hep C and HIV and is experiencing liver failure.
He was recommended for a liver transplant by his doctors here in Philadelphia but was DENIED by Medicare. 
He has a deposition scheduled this week and I guess you will hear more soon.
Wishing him luck.  Lets send lots of positive energy his way.

damn medicare! can't live without 'em, can hardly live with 'em. ::)
Much good luck to BOB on a speedy deposition, a quick approval ..
and getting a nice new liver transplanted SOON. ;D

wow, though Joel. How long has he been waiting now? I know you had mentioned Bob at least last March. And we've almost come back around a full year to that. So he's been dealing with this quite some time. I guess the good thing is that he's held on so long; but how has he been doing then in this past year? I would imagine that the negative governmental/medicial issue and the length of time can't have done Bob's physical health nor mental health much good.

I'm thinking extra hard about my "good vibes" and making it extra strong so Bob can hang on and get through this criisis; so he enjoy things on the other side of this situation :-*

Good news. 
Bob's deposition/hearing went real well.  There was a video hookup to a judge in OHIO and with doctors and with Bob here in Philadelphia.
Bob had to listen to all the doctors explain WHY he should get a new liver.  Also the doctors testified that there was no known reason why he is still alive.  When it came Bob's turn to testify, he just broke down and cried.
He has been approved for a new liver.  Now he just has to wait for one.
Its another miracle.

I am doing some work for Bob at his house.  Yesterday he was describing a proceedure to bypass  blood going to the liver, so that it goes around his liver,  so it wouldnt make all that protein that fills him up.  I didnt really get all the details, but he is having this done soon.


He is otherwise about the same.

Hi Joel

It sounds like they are going to place a transvenous shunt into Bob...this is what they use to create a shunt in the liver then (I think) this is linked to portal vein and this starts draining the blood away from the liver with a stent...it's been along tiem since I did my general but if it's not this procedure then it will be something very similar, as far as I can remember.

Ok sorry to impose in your forum so I'll wish you and Bob well and get the hell out of here... ;D

Hugs

Thanks Jan.
That sounds right.  He used "stent" and "shunt" to describe what the proceedure is.  I think this is aimed at making his kidneys work harder,  instead of the liver.  Am I right?

It sounds like he has ascites. Shunting is fairly common procedure before liver transplant.

I hope he gets his new liver SOON!

Hi joel

Yes the surgery will help the kidneys, the portal vien is used quite a lot in major organ surgery..or at least parts of it are.

As always Ann is right, shunting is a fairly common procedure.

Hugs to you both

In medicine (gastroenterology), ascites (also known as peritoneal cavity fluid, peritoneal fluid excess, hydroperitoneum or more archaically as abdominal dropsy) is an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity.

Ann...yup thats what he has.  He gets his abdominal cavity drained onece a week.

wow. Keep us informed about that too. Though I don't post every time you update, I do pay attention to this this thread and think about your friend Bob. I know how my little brain worries just about keeping things together to keep the meds going, I can't imagine trying to hang on for an organ! :o Plus like that old adage "there but for the grace of god, go I" you never know what might befall you in the future, so it pays to follow these kinds of tales in case it ever happens to you.

Best wishes to Bob!!

Bob survived the proceedure Monday,  but because the drugs used during surgery were not clearing from his body very fast,  they kept him in the hospital for an extra night.  He should be going home today.

Thanks Rod.
I am breathing a sigh of relief.  Every time Bob has a crisis my stress level goes way up.  Thats just how I am.  When Kurt was in the hospital getting a knee replacement and things went badly I nearly freaked out.  So, since Bob is such a long time friend and we are so closely tied to him and his partner Don, I feel the stress each time Bob faces a health crisis.  I guess really one could call this thread  "Support for Joel ".
Kurt spent Friday out at Bobs house and took him to a doctors appointment.  Seems Bob is doing ok... just tired.

Thanks Andy.  66 doesnt sound so bad now that I AM 66.  
News on Bob:
He has been in the hospital twice this week for ammonia induced dementia.  This happens when the ammonia level in his system gets too great...I understand, anyway.  If anyone has more to say on that type of "dementia" please do.  He is in the hospital today.
AND
Kurts back went out on Monday and he has been in a muscle relaxer daze since Monday.  I broke a tooth and had it repaired with a porcelain filling but the filling didnt hold as too much of the tooth was missing.  So I was back in for a crown, cap.... whatever..... this week and my mouth is still a little sore.  For those who have blood issues....there was blood all over the front of me and on the spit basin. My dentist has been dealing with HIV patients for years. HE wore the protective gloves and mask.
So, life goes on.

Good he's keeping that feisty attitude-I'm sure he's going to need it.

We were standing all alone
You were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker
Dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time
