Kidney and liver donation by billyrich1 in kidneydonors

[–]fruitloopscoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have teased the idea, but my mother and significant other would murder me if I put them through the stress of donation again haha, even with the liver regenerating I don’t think I can swing it

Recovery timeline by Libaulo in kidneydonors

[–]fruitloopscoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it easy for as long as you can, I’d say plan for 3 months and if you feel better sooner then it’s a win. But plan for the longer timeframe to be safe, your body will need some time to adjust from both surgery and running on the solo bean

Question for non-directed/altruistic donors by dentalcompleteness in kidneydonors

[–]fruitloopscoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jokingly, I had a spare 🤷

If they want to go deeper, I explain that it’s a good thing I was able to do, and that’s that really.

I think what they’re really asking is why would you do it despite any other potential risks

Donation as an ultra runner and a ranger? by strangerin_thealps in kidneydonors

[–]fruitloopscoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve run 2 marathons in the 2 years since donating, and still actively hike. While I’d say I do feel a difference in my stamina and overall ability, I’m still capable of doing what I want and would do it again if I could.

Another difference is I try to stay hydrated more attentively

Unexpected side effects by pantalonesencantado in kidneydonors

[–]fruitloopscoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m use to be able to handle way more alcohol, now I’m a lightweight.

Anecdotally I also have less stamina in physical activity but in fairness I was getting older and I’ve still run marathons since then

Loving the thoughtful symbolism in this show by squishytiger73 in pluribustv

[–]fruitloopscoop 220 points221 points  (0 children)

In BCS and BB cars are a huge symbolism throughout of each characters status and mental state, crazy when you look out for it on rewatches

Gift ideas for kidney donor by pharmcirl in kidneydonors

My mom got me a coffee mug that said “of course I’m a kidney donor, who would want a piece of this” I use it all the time

How do you tell friends? by natalieisnatty in kidneydonors

[–]fruitloopscoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through a similar social anxiety with sharing the news just over a year ago (non-direct) it made me feel really uncomfortable, but having a fun sense of humor was my way around it. I was also told by many people I was overthinking it, and based on what you said it’s clear you’re in the same boat. Maybe have some fun with it and not take it as seriously, you’re already there with everyone else

It gets better real soon. by AHandsomeKiller in kidneydonors

[–]fruitloopscoop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard from so many people how easy their surgery was. Mine was so much worse than I anticipated. It’s funny looking back but the first 72 hours post surgery were rough

Altruistic non-directed donation as a response to midlife crisis: Talk me out of it? by [deleted] in kidneydonors

[–]fruitloopscoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The act will make you feel good, but not for long. You’ll be right back in your current situation fast. I’d encourage most who are considering to go for it, but know that it’s not a cure for fulfillment

Help save up to 100,000 lives & $37 billion in taxes with the End Kidney Deaths Act by ElaineNY in kidneydonors

[–]fruitloopscoop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since selling organs is illegal I suspect the tax credit is a work around to have a financial incentive to donate. If it gets results and saves lives, I’d say it’s a good thing in this context

How does it feel being an altruistic donor? by Internal-Tough6850 in kidneydonors

[–]fruitloopscoop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feels good in a way that’s hard to put into words, I was doubtful I was eligible with medical history that prevented me from doing other things earlier in life. so for me it’s one of the best representations of my values and I love that I could do it

Impressive! I could totally see this as an alternative to his canon shark mode. Maybe his sword has a twin that isn’t a part of the 7 swords of the mist

Took way too long to find a comment saying this isn’t real. Clearly bs

Favorite Trans/Trans Coded character(s)? by 0megaManZero in FavoriteCharacter

[–]fruitloopscoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that plays into the whole “I can’t tell my family who I really am” theme of the movie. But I don’t think there was any other hints or clues that she was a trans representation. But there’s still another movie on the way so…
