| BY REBECCA MORTON Staff Writer News Transcript MARLBORO — When Ellyn Glazer found out her kidney was the match her husband Roy needed, she never wavered in her resolve to save her husband’s life. “You would do anything for your husband and kids,” she said. Twelve years ago Roy Glazer, 62, was diagnosed with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, a rare and incurable kidney disease. With treatment, Roy was able to survive without a transplant, although he knew that he would eventually need a kidney transplant to keep living. The Glazers have resided in Marlboro for 26 years with their children, Scott, Lauren and David. The average cost of a kidney transplant is more than $250,000, with post-transplant medication averaging between $2,000 and $5,000 a month, according to the National Foundation for Transplants Internet website. Knowing about the high costs associated with a transplant, the Glazers, their family members and friends organized a walk-a-thon in May 2009 to raise money to help pay the medical bills. Both of the Glazers are self-employed, Roy operates HRG Painting and Ellyn owns Auntie Ellyn’s Mandel Bread in Englishtown. The walk-a-thon helped to generate almost $10,000 toward the cost of the transplant. The months passed by leading up to when the procedure would finally take place. On the morning of Jan. 5, Ellyn and Roy were at Saint Barnabas Medical Center, Livingston, prepping for their surgeries. In recounting the events of that day, Ellyn said that while she was starting to feel nervous about the pending operation, Roy was calm and collected, and watching television before going in to the operating room. Within minutes of transferring one of her kidneys to Roy the organ began to function normally, indicating that the transplant had been a success, Ellyn said. When Roy awoke from the anesthesia the effects of having a new kidney were apparent to him. Having been at the end stage of his renal disease, Roy had been living with a constant feeling of fatigue and a constant metallic taste in his mouth. Upon waking up, he immediately noticed that the metallic taste in his mouth was gone and he felt more energized than he had felt in a long time. “Mission accomplished,” Ellyn said about her husband’s improved state of health. As the weeks have progressed the Glazers are slowly recovering from their surgeries. As part of his regimen, Roy now takes numerous medications, almost 24 pills a day, Ellyn said. However, each day of recovery brings Roy closer to resuming a normal lifestyle. Following the surgery, Roy must stay away from public places for three months in order to prevent infection. His seclusion has been made easier by a support system of family members and friends who come to visit the recovering couple. “We are spending a lot of together time,” Ellyn said. While Roy still faces the possibility of a reoccurrence of his disease, an event seen in about 1 out of 12 people, the family refuses to live in a world of “what ifs?” “We can’t live our life thinking what if God forbid he gets sick again. I can’t think that way, I have to feel that it is working and it is going to work. That’s all we can think about,” Ellyn said. Roy and Ellyn will remain out of work for their recovery period, which can take a couple of months. Reflecting back over the last year, Ellyn said, “It is an amazing thing that for a year (we had) the anticipation of the surgery, what it was going to be like and how we were going to be … my fears of what life would be like afterward for Roy, it’s been pretty normal.” Anyone who wishes to donate to help the family with the ongoing medical bills can visit the National Foundation for Transplants at www.transplants.org, click on the Patients We Help tab and search for Roy Glazer. |

If you have a friend; Take care of them. Listen to them, As they do you. Take care of each other when each other are in need. Friends are important. Friends can be family, your spouse, or even an adult offspring or parents as well as an aunt or uncle.
Who ever it is. Valentine's is a time to take care of your friends. The true-man. Valentine was not really known for romance, he was put in prison for religious beliefs (Christian) and he would write little letters to the other prisoners to give them comfort. This kept them alive and allowed them to keep faith with God. & this is how Valentine’s Day began.
You can alway get some one for a one night stand... But someone to be there with you forever is what really matters.
Change Your Thinking
It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking..
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.
His bed was next to the room's only window.
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation..
Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.
Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance..
As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.
Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days, weeks and months passed.
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.
She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
It faced a blank wall.
She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.
'Today is a gift, that is why it is called
The origin of this letter is unknown, but it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on.
