well, you don
[QUOTE=tomtucker]well, you don
[QUOTE=GOBB]Interesting. Would like to read the letter you end up sending him[/QUOTE]
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
How has your daily outlook on life changed?
great dude, i'm unaware of what you're going through, but from what i just read, you're going to get a kidney transplant, so i'm happy you'll be better. good man, god bless you a lot. i will pray for you so that god puts his hand in the transplant and everything comes out well in the name of jesus.
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.

[QUOTE=The Macho Man]You may have a lady kidney? :yaohappy:[/QUOTE]
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.

[QUOTE=The Macho Man]how's the lady kidney?
It's cool if we bang since you have lady parts now[/QUOTE]
Or it will be like having a threesome with 2 dudes.
[QUOTE=tomtucker]As far as [B]you [/B]know[/QUOTE]
True. Her personality does not seem to fit "whore" as much though.
