I'll go get the tape measure, send me a pic of your mom riding a unicorn singing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody in the meantime, so i can achieve full erectness.

Over the years i've read plenty or articles of people going to Isreal/india, and all sorts of places where the black market on organs is thriving. The way i see it; there's no guarantees on how long a transplanted kidney will last, (it could be a week, it could be 30 years). Not only do I not have the funds to do it, but I live in Canada, where my dialysis treatment ($1400 a run, 3 times a week) is fully covered. And my mom allows me to live at home, rent free. There are ways to game the system, but in my case it would be needlessly unethical, too expensive and post treatment I get free access to immunosuppressant drugs, which i pretty sure I'd lose access to, if I cheated.

I'm also blessed, that because i'm young/somewhat fit, that dialysis is a lot easier on my body than it is on a 60 year olds. Not to mention I can drive to my appointments, instead of having to wait for the handibus like they do.

HAHA that's the greatest birthday wish ever! Thank you very much for the kind words, and here's to your uncle living it up!

I really hope that you are able to keep the diabetes in check and are able to keep your remaining kidney function! When i first started dialysis (i'm a non diabetic), one of my nurses said he had diabetes but since he ate so healthy and exercised so regularly, his diabetes was completely in check. i hope that's the case with you. people say dialysis is the worst thing that could happen to someone, personally i think it diabetes!

If you do ever end up, on dialysis, please feel free to pm me. I have tons of experience and tips to make life easier, and i wish i had had someone to help guide me through the early goings.

HAHA well done. we celebrated last night, and we got kicked off the patio for having too many people :) havent been kicked out of a bar in quite a few years.
