Anyone who knows my history well, as Bill Yung, here, and, Garnabby, elsewhere, knows that I wrote of my partner going through a bypass, many years ago, just after I met her, and, a kidney transplant, about ten years ago. She had what is called one dwarf kidney, and, one pea kidney. Look, the sort of stuff that you can't really know of until you have kidney problems. A lot of people have only one kidney, but, like her, don't find out about it unless something goes wrong. She was a twin, something to do with this, where one of the twins dominated. Anyway, I've been through all of the medical stuff, with her, all of the special dietary stuff, and, so on. And, I was the one who donated the kidney. Just happened to match, about a one in three thousand chance. You have to be in virtually perfect health to donate. The heart and kidney are "one", in the health sense. Years ago, most doctors thought that dead heart tissue didn't regenerate, but now, they know that it does, but, as far as I know, only with the usual exertion. If you don't push it, well, you won't get this regeneration. Anyway, I've done all sorts and degrees of long distance running. It takes about ten years to become a half-decent runner. So, saw all of this stuff from also the other perspective. Had my own ups and downs, in other ways, enough to know that the "luxuries" you indulge up front will cost you double in back.
