16 Nov, 2007

Rob's surgery last week was cancelled. He had a fever of 102, so it's got to be rescheduled.

CRT is going to provide him the best long term prognosis outside of a heart transplant. He's a poor candidate for transplant for a few reasons, but mainly because he's a type 1 diabetic with extensive CAD.

He's very afraid...

So am I, actually.

He's 31 years old, and he needs CRT to basically prolong his life.

Oy. That's a mindfuck.

An explanation, perhaps

This is going to be the grief journal, and will include entries published elsewhere online, and bits that have never been seen before (not by humans, at any rate!).

Rob was 31 when he died during the early hours of Christmas morning (mourning?) 2007. For more background, you can go to

And his obituary

My usual "stuff" is over here at LJ (which is probably sacrilege, but nevertheless).
