After years of dialysis, which btw absolutely destroys a person in terms of physical and cognitive capability (just ask my poor mafia friends who i've let down many times in the last few years through simply not being able to concentrate for a few days!), its finally (dependent on some last minute health checks) happening.

I'm so excited. If you don't hear from me in the next 7 days its good news. I have no internet devices for hospital so I'll go silent if it happens.

When I do return you can expect an AAR

Congratulations!

You say you've been cognitively impaired but you were still crushing those mafia games.

Wishing you well. Hope to see you back in a week!

I analysed your post in detail and I can only conclude that if we do hear from you within 7 days you are dead.

All kidding aside. Good luck. Hoping on a good surgery and quick recovery!!!
I had a good night of sleep.

Good luck Jockmcplop. Hope it all goes smoothly and improves your quality of life considerably.

With that out of the way, I'll point out that in honor of your upcoming procedure, I will be eating kidney beans with dinner (couldn't possibly be a coincidence).

I'll be eating kid knees just to make sure we're covering all bases. It's possible he comes out of this with child sized legs.

Hi everyone!
I just got home today
Our hospital internet has tl.net banned for some reason (I think its because it has 'games' in a tag or something) so I couldn't update you at all.

The operation was absolutely brutal. I ended up with a huge collection of blood between my stomach lining and skin which then solidified into haematomas. 10/10 pain all the way for about 5 days. Absolutely sick. Then that all liquified and burst out of the stapled together incision going halfway down my stomach.
On the plus side, I had button controlled Fentanyl going into a line into my artery in my neck so that was lovely.

The main thing is, after a couple of days adjustment period my new kidney is absolutely amazing. All my stats are back down to normal levels already, I can piss like a normal human again, and I can even walk around my house!

Even though I couldn't read all your comments I received the good vibes anyway.

My kidney is from a young man who died in a motorcycle accident. Everything I can now do is in his memory.

Luckily my legs are of identical size to the legs with which I arrived at the hospital

Aren't such surgery complications a bit out of the ordinary?

Relatively, although this does happen with PKD transplants.
To explain, my previous kidneys were both absolutely HUGE and full of cysts, and they hate removing kidneys because its an extra layer of danger in the surgery, so they just fit the new kidney in around them.
This led to increased pressure and some of the cysts bursting from what I understand. Its not that uncommon.
It doesn't help that I'm a bit of a fatty. Fat people are at much higher risk from surgery in general, and there's more space for blood to pool around the bottom of my belly.
So yes, but no is the answer, if that's clear enough for you haha
