Hey, that's really nice, but don't do that. You've already contributed and I appreciate the support but you don't have to do something like this. Anyone, please.

eh, it is not like i cut my living budget for donating. I will still live in my relative luxury, except some of the money goes into stuff that actually matter instead of games i gonna buy and sitting in backlog for years.

Well, the problem goes when you are too generous and you sacrificing real world stuff for charity. Of course me and my family comes first, but when i have spares to help fellow guy, why not?

What if someone sells their kidney to get the money to be the #1 donor in the campaign?

:philosoraptor:

Well, fuck you just blew my mind now. Fucking kidney black market.

Honestly, I don't even know how that'd work. I mean, the surgery to implant a kidney is NOT an easy surgery; it requires the work of a specialized surgeon and a nephrologist - and nephrology isn't like an easy portion of medicine. Nephrologists are usually very very competent, often the smartest guy in the room... you can't really just hire a backroom surgeon to implant a kidney in you and expect it to work and not reject...

is it harder to get it in than out?

I hear stories people who got drugged and woke up with missinh kidney, iften done by rogue medical practitioner.

I mean it makes sense, getting it out you just cut, sew while implanting needs you to connect the blood vessels or it would leak

:/

Well, something most people don't know is that they don't remove your native kidneys when you get a transplant. (Unless you have Poly Cystic Kidney disease, which makes your kidney grow cysts and become HUGE). So your dead native organs remain in your body; your new organ is implanted kind of below your your stomach and behind your hip. My first transplant was over on my right side, my last one was on the left. That's right - I have FOUR kidneys inside my body right now. The next one, as they tell me, will be implanted on the right again, almost next to the last one. I will have five kidneys in me after the next transplant.

That's not the record, though. Some dude has SEVEN.

So yeah, getting them out can be easier than putting them in. Especially putting them in at the native locations. Kidneys are kind of buried and protected by ribs and shit. They remove them through laproscopic surgery now, and minimally invasive. In older days, getting them out was a tough surgery. Which is why stories of waking up in a bathtub full of ice make me go... "yikes."

Couldn't find the clip I wanted of Zim saying, "More organs means more human," so this one will have to do.

Yeesh, that's a terrible condition to have. I've just been through the scare of getting screened for kidney cancer (+myeloma and liver cancer, turns out I "just" have a bunch of abscesses (boils) in my stomach and one abdominal muscle). As soon as I'm out of the hospital I'll be sure to donate.

Stay well :salute:

On a serious note: have you ever looked into fasting? There are indications it helps with Polycystic diseases as well as Lupus. I mean I wouldn't expect wonders, like it does for Diabetes, but maybe if the kidneys have less to metabolise they'd last you a bit longer. And hopefully you'll have a long time to take another crack at breaking the record.
