I should get it. In case I need a spare, it'll already be in there and ready to go. I should get it because I am a used to be drunk, used to be drug abusing hippie type, herniated discs in the lumbar region dude, diabetic, fused disc in the neck, bruised spinal cord, brain damaged, high blood pressured, angioplasty recipient (pre-stint method), hiatal herniated, repaired armed, former USN Spook, college graduate, history nut, story telling, short, fat, red haired, massively farkled, wear 8.5 EEEE shoes (My feet are only called feet because of the position they occury on the ends of my legs), Iowa Hawekeye luvin, horney, 63 year old man who I say deserves a spare kidney. So there Psswwwwtts!
LOOK OUT people! Froggy is foggy and groggy after moving a whole bunch of bags and boxes to my new house today. He's feeling crazy dead.

Wolf, On a serious note I wondered what is the percentage rate on a successful outcome for the operation? It must be a very complicated procedure and must require a lot of blood on hand to pull off. Just wondered, since I am a donor and mine work now, I'm considering not being a donor because of the complications it would cause my wife if she has to deal with it.
Like I said, when it's personal it's serious.

The toughest part is the conversation that would occur between docs and her if she didn't know what you wanted. This is why it's so important for everyone to have advance directives and to have these sort of conversations. Basically don't make her have to make a decision.
Otherwise, as far as the surgery goes, the professor said that kidney transplants have become fairly routine surgeries (only take about 2.5 hours). They don't even take out the bad kidneys, they go in through a (relatively) small incision on the side and sew the new kidney into the external illiac artery and vein (the vein isn't hooked up on this pic). The ureter is then hooked into the nearby bladder.
