I have a kidney donor!

[Myth]

As many of you know, I have been on the Oregon kidney transplant list for about 2 years. Today I got the phone call saying they have a live donor for me. To my shock, it was none of the people who called on my behalf, just some random stranger that wanted to help somebody out. I'm scheduled to have surgery on July 23rd, so my move to Cali will be somewhat delayed.

[Bano114]

Let me be the first to say Congratulations. I'll keep you in my prayers for your surgery. Good luck.:cheers:

Well, I have already been on peritoneal dialysis for about a month. Being on dialysis for an extended amount of time is not really good for you. There is an increased risk of infections, weight gain and related health issues would be expected, easy to get hernias, and ultimately dialysis is not as effective as kidneys so your health just gets worse and worse (somebody who lives on dialysis full term has their life expectancy cut in about half). I've also had several painful but benign side effects of the dialysis, including a nerve issue at my diaphragm that made it feel like I dislocated my right shoulder. The alternative to no dialysis or transplant is complete kidney shut down which would kill me.

Additionally, the timing of this was important for my education. I'm starting an internship mid-July (more like beginning of September now) to complete my doctorate in psychology, but if my surgery overlapped even more with my internship, it could greatly effect the hours necessary for licensure. My doctors and I were just recently entertaining the idea of putting a transplant on hold for a year so I could finish my school while I just stayed on dialysis for a year.

Thanks for all the positive comments. :cheers:

[ukballer]

Wonderful news! I hope everything is successful, and I hope you'll get the chance to meet the donor one day if that is your wish. :D

I want to find out the birthday of the donor. Then on that day, I will have about a 2 minute birthday celebration for the kidney with a cupcake or something, since that is about the ratio of me that will be having a birthday on that day. :D



..... oh, and I'd be very thankful as well. I can't offer him much, but I'd love to take him and his family out for dinner.

I had actually just started playing basketball again this past week since my dialysis surgery. I'll have to put that back on hold so I don't mess up something before the surgery. The interesting part of playing basketball while on peritoneal dialysis is that I surprise the heck out of people because I don't look like I can ball at all (not that I'm great, but I'm a better defender than I am a scorer). I'm carrying about 2 liters of extra dialysis liquid in my peritoneal cavity at any given moment, so I have an artificially stretched out belly and then I have a foam pad that is about 1.5 inches thick over my belly, so I look like I can't move. However, I still have strong legs from my sprinting days. My endurance is currently very poor, so I usually guard the slower guys, but when there is a switch on a screen, I see the guards' eyes light up thinking they have a major mismatch but it is never the easy drive to the hoop that they think it will be.

Congrats, my friend.

I just switched over to Medicare, so hopefully only $100 per month. Otherwise, I might as well bring a brief case with stacks of bills in it.


So after this transplant, you will be fully healthy?

There are a number of complications that can arise and I will be on anti-rejection medications that lower my immune system making me vulnerable to other illnesses. Good chance I will become diabetic and get skin cancer, in addition to other possible outcomes. Plus the medications, like Prednisone, have their own shitty side-effects. But all of that is better than the alternative.

Sending all positive thoughts your way for smooth sailing through the surgery and recovery.

To receive the call that you're getting a second chance at life, then to find out it's from an incredibly generous person willing to be a live donor...just awesome.

A great time to remind all to give the gift of life. Become an organ and tissue donor today! http://donatelife.net/

But all of that is better than the alternative.

I can tell you from experience that, for many recipients, the medications are fairly easily tolerated. Maintaining generally good health post-transplant (diet, exercise, taking meds on strict schedule, etc) make a huge difference. And you can protect against skin cancer just like anyone else; you'll just be at higher risk if you don't.

As for the bolded, truer words were never spoken.

Kidneys only play a small part in filtering alcohol (liver does the bulk). I was still allowed to drink, even once I was put on dialysis. In fact, on dialysis, the alcohol is filtered even better, so generally people don't get hang overs when on peritoneal dialysis and drinking. I never got around to testing that though.

Also, I think I told you that I wouldn't have gone over the top because I had recently had surgery to start doing dialysis.

Oh bummer - sending a prayer your way

[Myth]

Everthing went as expected. I'm still in some pain, and I have yet to poop, so that is going to hurt. Also, I apparently peed 3.5 gallons my first night after my kidney was put in. It is common to pee a lot with a new kidney, but I was still peeing as much as a normal person, so the amount I'm peeing is an extreme amount.

It is something I came up with. I was also planning that if I ever got a kidney from a woman, I would use it in debates with women by pointing out that I am part woman.

Scoooter - I keep my originals too. It causes more trauma on the body to have them removed, so they remain in place and the new kidney was added to my right hip. I have a big nasty scar that goes from my right hip and curls down to the bottom of my happy trail. If I ever get another transplant on my left him, I'm hoping it completes a smiley face scar.

was that liquid that was retained in the body and then came out becoz of the new extra kidney is working....or is there another reason for the peeing ?

[Myth]

was that liquid that was retained in the body and then came out becoz of the new extra kidney is working....or is there another reason for the peeing ?

From my limited understanding, there are a few things that come into play. When a new kidney starts working, it starts filtering like crazy right off the bat. Even though I was already peeing a normal amount before the transplant, I think there may have been some excess water stored in me that the original kidneys weren't getting rid of. Additionally, they flush me with a lot of fluids during the surgery, and because I was already peeing sufficiently, this means I have 3 kidneys that are filtering all the liquid. By night number 2, it was nowhere near 3.5 gallons.

[Raz]

Myth what was wrong with your original kidney? Had you been suffering for a long time?

[JMT]

Myth, this is great news! Came on ISH specifically looking to see if there was an update on your surgery.

[boozehound]

well, this is very nice to hear. Glad you are done with dialysis.

[Myth]

Myth what was wrong with your original kidney? Had you been suffering for a long time?

I was diagnosed with a chronic kidney disease (IgA Nephropathy) in 2004. My kidneys slowly deteriorated since then, and I was placed on a transplant list in 2010. Just in the beginning of June, I started peritoneal dialysis, but luckily this came along so that I don't have to stay on dialysis as I move down to Califnornia.

[Myth]

Out of the hospital. A couple notes on some of the worse, but not fully expected parts:

1. I got plugged up and couldn't poop for a few days, and spent about 18 hours in pain as my stomach churned but was blocked up. That was worse than the actual surgery pain because the surgical scar only hurts when touched or moving, but the lack of pooping hurt no matter what I did.

2. I hate having a urine catheter. That tube is way too big considering the size of the hole they put it in. I never want to see blood around my dick hole ever again (I could have said this before the experience too, but it is still valid). The worse part about the catheter was getting a random boner, especially in the middle of the night. Not much worse than sleeping when suddenly you get a boner and everything swells and stretches out around a catheter, and if feels like something is currently being pushed into your dick hole. Removing the catheter wasn't much fun either, but actually not as bad as I expected.

Update:

I have follow up surgery this Monday, which also happens to be my birthday. Originally, they were going to have this surgery (removal of my peritoneal catheter from dialysis), a procedure to remove the stint on my bladder (10 minutes of using a scope and clamp to go up through my dick to remove it), and remove my staples from the incision all on separate dates. The timeline was close between the follow up surgery and the stint removal, so I asked them to go up my dick while I'm out for surgery, and the doctors all looked at each other like they hadn't considered that and said, "Hmm, I guess that would make sense." Couldn't believe these guys can be so smart but then lack the common sense to assume that I'd prefer they do it at the same time rather than go through my dick while I'm awake. This morning, they decided to remove the staples at the same time, which is also a bonus, but not as big of a deal.

Also, I jerked it for the first time on Sunday, and apparently the urine catheter wasn't very nice to me (it was removed on Friday). After finishing, my dick turned all purple near the base like all the blood vesicles broke. Scary shit seeing your dick look like a bruise :lol

Well about 5 years ago I had a car accident in which i had an aortic aneurysm, amputated leg, and many broken bones. the effect of all the medicine in me led to a side effect of me losing kidney function. went through dialysis about 4 times and after that, was able to urinate and everything was back to normal. the tumor issue that just came up was unrelated, but i felt a mass and had the doctor check it out, was close to some sexual organ stuff so that explains the no ejaculation rule for 2 weeks lol.

Shit man, that is awful. I hope you are doing well overall. The amputated leg is the part that stands out to me. Do you use a prosthetic, wheel chair, or do something else? It is tough enough to go through life threatening stuff, but then to have everyday life altered on top of that is just a completely different twist from my situation.

Thanks man, I think I'm doing pretty well. Does take a lot away because of not being able to play sports which was like 95% of my socialization. I do have a prosthetic actually, I can walk without any support and go at a decent pace too. I used to have another prosthetic which was pretty shitty and I had to use a cane for a couple of years..which was pretty badass.

I too feel betrayed that you don't look like Mark Bryant.:mad:

[boozehound]

Update:

I have follow up surgery this Monday, which also happens to be my birthday. Originally, they were going to have this surgery (removal of my peritoneal catheter from dialysis), a procedure to remove the stint on my bladder (10 minutes of using a scope and clamp to go up through my dick to remove it), and remove my staples from the incision all on separate dates. The timeline was close between the follow up surgery and the stint removal, so I asked them to go up my dick while I'm out for surgery, and the doctors all looked at each other like they hadn't considered that and said, "Hmm, I guess that would make sense." Couldn't believe these guys can be so smart but then lack the common sense to assume that I'd prefer they do it at the same time rather than go through my dick while I'm awake. This morning, they decided to remove the staples at the same time, which is also a bonus, but not as big of a deal.

Also, I jerked it for the first time on Sunday, and apparently the urine catheter wasn't very nice to me (it was removed on Friday). After finishing, my dick turned all purple near the base like all the blood vesicles broke. Scary shit seeing your dick look like a bruise :lol
ha, man, you got me in tears with your bruised dick!

I still am hobbled a bit. And I will have follow up surgery on Monday before I am fully recovered from the last surgery. But overall I feel good. The less pain meds I'm on, the more I can feel the new kidney inside of me. There is a not in my lower right hand side of my gut, as if a fist had been added to my insides. It isn't painful, but it is certainly a weird feeling, and it takes away flexibility until everything stretches out and adjusts, so I can't take full size steps yet.

My Sister got her kidney about a year ago somewhat. She's turning 7 in a couple of days. But her condition is still unfortunate, in and out of the hospital dealing with constant infections and major deficiencies.

We celebrated like crazy when she got her kidney, just didn't expect all these complications. Hope everything is just on your end though man, good luck in your recovery. :cheers:

Damn, it's so hard to watch kids go through such treatments, the worst part is that some of them think it's their fault and that they have done something bad so they don't bitch and whine about the pain to vent. I hope your sister recovers and goes on to have a happy childhood and make good memories.

They are going to remove my peritoneal dialysis catheter. They left it in previously just in case the kidney didn't take at first. While they take out the catheter, they will also remove a stint from my bladder from the first surgery (this is done through my dickhole and doesn't require me being unconscious, but might as well do it while I'm unconscious since I will be under anyway).

I will be out after a few hours, so TV shouldn't be too necessary this time around.

My recommendation is to try and hunt out the donor and look for his medical history, maybe it wasn't the surgery or your sister health but something the donor had previously and didn't get treated. I am just talking out of my ass though...

Good luck with your procedure Myth. At least you'll be out so enjoy your drugs:kobe:

Surgery went well today. I can tell already that this is going to be the easiest of the 3 surgeries in the last 3 months to recover from. One interesting note, after the removed the stint from my bladder, I went home and peed, and I started farting out of my dick. Scared the shit out of me.

Damn is there even a word for that?
UD comes to the rescue:

dick fart 263 up, 75 down

noun: Penile flatulence (air or gas escaping from the ***** through the urethra), a.k.a. a quofe (also spelled quof or quoaf).

NOTE: Dick farts or quofes are a rare phenomenon compared to queefs because it is much harder for air to become stuck in a man's urethra than in a woman's comparatively larger ******. Quofes occur most frequently after a catheter has been inserted into the ***** and removed, leaving air trapped in the bladder or urethra.
After Reginald's catheter was removed, he tried to take a piss, but ended up letting a dick fart at the same time and splattering urine everywhere.

[Myth]

^ That is pretty much exactly what happened. Though it came towards the end of my piss, and yes, piss splattered everywhere. Btw, it happened at the end of 3 separate pisses. My 4th and most recent didn't have a "quofe." Before seeing that post, I just started calling it a "peef."

A peef is a ***** fart, similar to a queef. A queef is to a female as a peef is to a male.


For those curious, it was like when your water gets turned off in your home and then when it gets turned back on, there are air bubbles in your pipes. So when you turn on a faucet, the water starts but then starts sputtering suddenly and violently when the air pockets shoot out.

Well, I have no more surgeries in expected in the near future, so hopefully it is just a matter of recovering and moving on now. But the anti-rejection meds will be part of my life forever, and I will likely need another kidney in a couple decades even if everything goes as expected.

There have already been successful studies abroad where recipients got a bone marrow transplant from their donor prior to organ transplant. That effectively gives the recipient the same immune system as the donor, eliminating the need for anti-rejection and immunosupresant therapy.

I believe there's even a current US version of the study taking place.

The first time I did after returning from the transplant was about week after the transplant, and 2 days after having the urine catheter removed. Epic explosion, but then my dick was all bruised afterwards (still is). I was kind of freaked a bit, so I didn't do it again until the 2 nights ago. Again, epic explosion, and luckily no residual effects. I haven't since then because I'm waiting for the dick farts to stop. And yes, I had it happen twice more since my last post here.

No, they don't smell, other than the smell of pee, which easily could be just the urine.

I'm pretty sure the bruising is because of the urine catheter. The catheter was in for about 5 days, and it was very uncomfortable. It burned when I peed for about 12 hours after the catheter was removed too. I don't even know if the bruising was because of the jerk session or if it was just coincidental timing of when it started developing, because it was 2 days later, and I looked it up online, and bruising to the dick and scrotum can occur up to 2 days later anyway without jerking it.

I have IgA Nephropathy, which is a chronic kidney disease. I was diagnosed with it when I was 19 and a Freshman in college. Knowledge of why people get it is limited, and the closest explanation I ever got was that heredity increases the likelihood of getting it. Nobody in my family has a history of any kidney issues though. And even though it is increased through heredity, my potential future kids having say twice the likelihood of getting the disease are still not expected to get it themselves. I don't know the exact numbers though.

The person is anonymous. I am allowed to write a letter of thanks to him, but he doesn't want to know who I am either, so I'm supposed to take out identifying info about me in my thank you card (they also told me to wait a couple months before writing it).

Interesting. Would like to read the letter you end up sending him


This is going to be handwritten on a Thank You card:

Dear Generous Donor,

I cannot thank you enough for your donation of life. The kidney that you have given me will not only extend my life, but it will also improve my quality of life. I am in my late 20s and have been anxiously waiting for a new kidney as I have watched my health slowly deteriorate over the years due to a chronic kidney disease. I had recently been put on peritoneal dialysis right as I am preparing to move to southern California to complete my schooling. The idea of moving to California away from everybody I know while trying to adjust to dialysis was a scary one. I was uncertain of what would happen in the case of complications while having nobody nearby that could watch out for me. Additionally, receiving a kidney from you helps me be able to accomplish my career goals. I am in the process of finishing my doctorate in psychology. My internship in California requires that I complete a minimum number of hours providing therapy. Completing those hours while having to wait for dialysis fluid deliveries and having to take a leave of absence to recover from a transplant had it come at a later date would have been extremely challenging. Now, I can put those worries to rest as I complete my degree and put more focus on helping others in need of psychological help. The way I view it, you have not only helped my life and all the loved ones who care about me, but you have also allowed me to better help others. This is only a snippet of how much impact you have now had on my life. I am forever grateful and I want to extend my most sincere appreciation to you. I wish you a happy recovery and I hope that karma blesses you for your sacrifice for the rest of your life.

Sincerely,
Ever Thankful Kidney Recipient

1 year ago to this day some stranger that I have never met willingly gave up 1 of his kidneys to allow me to have an extended, healthy, and happy life. I am forever grateful to that wonderful stranger and wish him or her all the happiness life can give. I celebrated with a cupcake.

You may have a lady kidney? :yaohappy:

I'm comfortable with my feminine side. The other alternative is that I have had another man's organ inserted inside of me. I think it is a man's. They were supposed to keep details from me, but I think I remember hearing the donor be referred to as a "he." But I'm not sure if they always say "he" in anonymous cases.

Worst case scenario you're a bi and would have to do some Bj from time to time. I prefer that to having to do dialysis.:cheers:

Doing great, thanks for asking. A lack of major updates is a good thing. I do my regular checkups and they say I'm good every time.

I'm way past that. I did a little dating and have settled on a new lady for the last 9 months. One who isn't a whore.

how's the lady kidney?

It's cool if we bang since you have lady parts now

Or it will be like having a threesome with 2 dudes.

True. Her personality does not seem to fit "whore" as much though.
