Need Help Finding a Kidney

Hey All

TL;DR, I'm in need of a kidney and am having a hard time finding a match.

Little bit longer explanation, I'm a kidney transplant patient going on 23 years, but my transplanted kidney is starting to wear out. When I was a kid, I got sick with strep and it went to my kidneys eventually leading to my transplant in my 20's.

Well, because of that transplant, I've been able to do some great things, but the downside is I've picked up some additional antibodies along the way, making finding a match much more difficult.

It's been a little over half a year in the search and roughly 50 people have been tested, which is amazing, but no match. Wondering if you all wouldn't mind taking a look at my site, maybe sharing it around?

I'm happy to answer any questions about kidney transplants here, love spreading awareness about it.

Thanks!

"That song from the late 1900's"

Literally what a 23 year old said to me tonight when I was talking about a Third Eye Blind song. The entire group of people my age stopped dead in their conversations, looked at him and unanimously said, "No..... We don't say that. We say the late 90's."

Felt bad for the kid.... Felt worse for all of us 40-somethings all thinking WTF 😂

First time Buyer - Master Spa vs Hot Springs

Been wanting a hot tub for a while, family of 4. Spent the day at a couple places and am narrowing down between a Master Spa Twilight 7.2 for $14k or a Hot Springs for closer to $11k. Both would be salt with cover, delivery, install, etc.

Seems like the Master Spa might be more powerful jets and better build quality, based on sales guy and what I've read ... But I'm only planning to be in this house another 7 - 10 years.

Sounds like the Master Spa is easier / less expensive parts, too, and I think the sales guy could get the price down some. Wondering if it's worth the extra money or not. Looking for opinions.

How do you get this box?

I thought I'd need 9s to take over a robot and fly to it, but the machine isn't strong enough to get that high

What is this and why is it loose?

I'm trying to track down a creaking sound when going over bumps. Someone suggested checking the sway bar / link by pushing jeep side to side. When I do, it makes the creak and if I hold on to the part, the sound stops

Is this the sway bar link? Is it supposed to be a little loose? I tried tightening the boot but it's pretty firm, and it looks like there's markings so I didn't know if it would affect alignment.

I'll add another pic in comments.

Thanks for the help;

Creak / Click over bumps

2020 JL Wrangler

​

Just went through and tightened down all the shocks. Still hearing this clicking over bumps. Sway bar bushings?

Father's Day Dogs

Finally got around to making some Chicago dogs! Forgot the onion on the first but quickly made up for it.

Happy Father's Day!

Moon Pizza

Been driving by this food truck up in Lewis Center and decided to give it a try tonight. Didn't realize it was Indian food and pizza. Gotta say, it was fantastic for something different! Got the potato masala pizza and some veggie samosas, everything was great.

​

I think they have a Hilliard location too. If you're looking for something new to try, definitely give it a shot.

Creaking sound over bumps

2020 JL

​

I have this weird creaking sound when going over bumps at low speed. I recently replaced the shock with some aftermarket Rancheros. It seems like it comes from the front, so I was thinking sway bar bushings maybe, but I think it might also be from the rear.

​

Any thoughts how to go about diagnosing? Video isn't the greatest, but you can kinda hear it. It's like a metal creak sound.

Pair Donation - Donor Asked to Do Day Long Testing?

Hi All

After 23 years, my transplanted kidney is starting to poop out. Last October I started asking friends and colleagues if they'd donate, and while many did, none were a match. Some of them did say they would do the pair donation program, however.

Well, 9 months later or so, one of them who agreed to pair just got a call asking to schedule a day of testing and health screenings. Does anyone know if this is common to ask someone to do this if they haven't found a matching pair yet? We can't seem to get any information...
