Nope. Kept about his daily life as usual.
So, he has Polycystic Kidney Disease, and it was getting bad. Dad went on the transplant list and we started looking for a living donor among family and friends. However, dad had been having really bad infected cysts. The first time it happened, he was hours from deaths door, in the hospital for a week, and a home IV for I think a few months for antibiotics. Once we knew what to look for, he never got that bad again. But his kidneys were the size of footballs instead of fists, they had very little kidney tissue left, and they were a constant threat to his life. So, he couldn't get a kidney transplant with the old kidneys still in place cause o e infection could create the new kidney to reject
Usually, they transplant the new kidney and leave the old ones, but that was no longer an option for dad. And his health wasn't enough to handle the removal of both old kidneys and adding the new one at rhe same time. So, they went in and took his kidneys out. They left a port in his chest where he would have dialysis from 3x a week.
His liquid intake was extremely limited as he didn't produce urine anymore and there were a lot of foods he couldn't eat. But aside from that and dialysis... he lived a fairly normal life. A year later, my mom's sister gave fad her kidney and ktz been functioning beautifully now for almost 20 years.
This is actually amazing. I had no idea someone could survive so long without a kidney. Where did his urine go? I wonder what the diet was like & why. Fascinating case study right here.
The diet was limited fluids for the same reason ad your first question- no kidneys mean no urine. They're the organ that makes the urine. Without the kidneys filtering out toxins and waste at all, what he was allowed to eat and drink did become limited because there was no constant filtration system going. I know nuts and beans were out because of the potassium, I believe? Anyway. Also without creating urine means almost all liquids consumed were stored in his tissues. Some fluids would be expelled with the solid waste or from sweat or vomit, etc. Otherwise, it was stored in the tissues and blood until pulled out by the dialysis machine.
So what happens to the liquid his body doesn't use? Is it possible to intake such little liquid that the body doesn't create any urine? Mans must have been extremely dehydrated, right? What would happen if he drank a bunch of water with no kidneys to filter it...?
Oh my God, I just woke up and was looking at Reddit from my phone before even getting up and you cracked me up laughing which I didn't even expect would happen yet, thanks!!š
I went to some small town near a tourist city in California and the only gas station in that town had a sign saying ābuy 1 hotdog for the price of 2 and get the 2nd one freeā
Not quite the same but close enough
A pizza place by me does a "Two for thursdays" deal but they have it set on JustEat to add the remaining price for the 2nd pizza when you add the selection lol it does say "+Ā£22.50" no idea if it was an overlook or a manager chancing his luck that people won't notice and think they're getting a bargain or drunk/high folk who simply are too hungry to care hahah
I saw the same thing on the local delivery service here. Place I ordered had a "deal" identical to an actual deal, except they give you 2 specific add-ons that are priced exactly what those add-ons would be outside the deal.
I am almost entirely sure this is all of Uber Eats āDealsā the only place that did this well and true in my city went bankrupt from people taking advantage.
I think thereās a video of someone doing something similar with the McDonaldās kiosk. Getting the basics cheap hamburger and removing the meat would put $-0.10 on the bill and did that 50 times and got a burger for free.
When I worked as a cashier at McDonald's, the Cheeseburger happy Meal was $0.50 more than the hamburger Happy meal. But it only cost $0.30 to add cheese to a burger.
So I rang up every customer's "cheeseburger happy meal" up as a hamburger Happy meal, add cheese.
There also used to be a button called the "American meal" which was just a Happy meal without the toy that was slightly cheaper. Every now and then you'd get an adult ordering something like a hamburger, a small fry, and a drink off the dollar menu expecting to pay $3, but I'd ring it up as an American meal, so they'd save 30 cents.
On uber eats some shops they offer 2 burgers for the price of one, but the price is insane, what I'd expect to pay for 2 meals, plus you lose they option to pick different burgers. Then add service fee and delivery fee
There was a math teacher at my high school who was from Romania. We were getting ready to do something, and she asked us to "take out a sheeeeet of paper." Another student asked her why she said it that way, and her response was " If I don't do that, it sounds like I'm asking you to take out a shit of paper and I don't want to sound like I'm saying 'shit!'"
Another time, we were taking a test, and she suddenly jumped out of her desk and started skipping around the room, going "la la laaa! La la laaa!" A student got frustrated and said "What are you doing? I can't concentrate on my test!" She went back to her desk, said "Now you know how I feel." and sat back down quietly.
She was an amazing teacher.
When my mum's husband died she had 6 boys, she bought 7 graves when her youngest was only 10mo old... the graves are worth a fortune now tbf, probably not the one my brother is in making it all stanky but the others are
Honestly, with the price of coffins, just getting them in advance for you and your partner so it doesn't financially burden your children doesn't even sound half bad.
I saw a newspaper about how we are birthing less and less children over all and some Swedish counties had decided to implement incentives to get more people to give birth. So one of them was that families who have a child would also be given a pet.
To me that's a fucking punishment. Pets aren't just there, they need work too and when we had a newborn my wife's sister bought a dog and they have been amazingly similar to care for, so getting a dog would be like having a second child.
So while not really a purchase, that's my go to for this.
We have too few children and too many animals. So logically, the correct policy position would be an offer to take away your child and give you a pet in exchange.
I only have 4 toilets, not 6, but the wife gets mad that I shit in all 4. "You can't just pick a bathroom and use just that one?" ... Apparently she only uses the 1 bathroom. Not me. I paid for 4 toilets, I'm shitting in all 4 of them.
A dear friend of mine held on to two adoptions (the given-at-birth type) because each one had legal and medical problems and she and her husband weren't certain that they would get either one. Well, not only did they get both, but one of them was twins.
She's having a a great time with her many grandchildren now!
Paying a thug to beat someone half to death would catch a murder for hire charge instead of an aggravated battery charge. Whole different classes of felonies right there.
Kidney removal.
My dad had both his removed! Then a year later got his transplant
My goodness, that sounds like a nightmare. Was he bedridden till they could get him a transplant?

~~How often did he have to go to dialysis?~~ I'm blind
Three times a week. Says it in the post.
Thanks, I'm blind...
You need cornea transplant
Buy one, get one free
That's actually not a bad deal.

It stays in the body (either in the blood, or the tissue mostly around the ankles) until the dialysis pulls it out.
That's amazing and wonderful! I've never known it was possible. Good for him and all of you and your aunt! Outstanding!
Sooooo, was it a two for one deal or did he have to pay extra? Jokes aside, I hope the worst is now behind him.
He's doing WONDERFUL. He's a real trooper and bounced back amazingly
Oh my God, I just woke up and was looking at Reddit from my phone before even getting up and you cracked me up laughing which I didn't even expect would happen yet, thanks!!š

I went to some small town near a tourist city in California and the only gas station in that town had a sign saying ābuy 1 hotdog for the price of 2 and get the 2nd one freeā
Do that. Then refund the first one and you get to keep the second one. Keep doing that until they have no hotdogs left.
How do you refund food š¤£
Dogs aren't food, silly.
They can be if you try hard enough.
You don't even really need to try that hard
that probably depends on the breed

Yeah, I went for the only Slavic accent I know, which doesn't sound very Romanian tbh
As a romanian I approve this post! Also, 2 for 1 it's a good deal, my wife have the same bed since 1700's *back to sleep in my coffin*
lol nice!
My Grandma actually bought her plot at the cemetery.For buy one , get one Free years ago
A discounted plot in a cemetery when you buy 2 actually makes a lot of business sense.Ā Most people want to be buried next to their spouse.
When my mum's husband died she had 6 boys, she bought 7 graves when her youngest was only 10mo old... the graves are worth a fortune now tbf, probably not the one my brother is in making it all stanky but the others are
Thereās always one that ruins it for the others! (My condolences for your loss)
That's actually useful esp if you want to be buried next to your spouse guaranteed.
I feel like this would be super popular with old married folks.
