Nate Robinson Needs A Kidney

[Indeed]

 

[levitate]

Sad. Hope the breh pulls through.

How difficult is it to match a kidney? Especially considering living donors…

What’s the main criteria? Blood Type? One would think that someone in his family would be a suitable living donor for him?

But I’m likely way oversimplifying the process.

my grandfather was on dialysis before he got out of here. i dont wish that shyt on anyone. that shyt is so mentally and physically draining on the person.

blessed and cursed by genes
blessed to have a 44 vertical and make it to the NBA for an undersized player
also cursed by inheriting certain genes that were predisposed to hypertension

My kidney served my mother for 22 years. Average is ~10 years. She's now on dialysis 3 days/week and doing fine. The whole process of matching and all that took about 2 weeks. Operation took about 6 hours, me first. Recovery took about 2 months.

Nah. Mom's been fine for 20 years on dialysis. I thought the same as you before I spoke with doctors and techs. It's come a long way.​

This is what I'm wondering too

My mother gave one of her kidneys to a relative, make-a-wish foundation sent both of em on a trip to meet the Heatles, the whole process seemed pretty quick

It's crazy no one in his blood family or extended basketball family matched up for the transfer I'd be pissed


At this point he might be better off offering someone money it must be illegal or something though, no way he didn't already think of that

Dialysis is a very very challenging thing to go through with lots of complications. Peace and blessings to your mom and her strength.

That’s good to know. My uncle is on the line right before dialysis and he’s high key nervous.

The ones not looking too good are probably not following directions as far as diet, fluid intake, med usage, etc. Can't do everything you used to with functioning kidneys.​

Thanks. Luckily no complications. She just takes a nap after a session and is up for the rest of the day.​

Tell him stop bullshytting, listen to doctors, and take better care of himself. It can be avoided in most cases just by reading the ingredients on food packaging and light exercise.​

Now that Nate’s the one in a bind, i hope someone steps up for him

My mom use to run a few dialysis clinics and I agree. Its just not a great environment. huge chairs and machines lining either wall, and you gotta go in multiple times per week? You gotta get stuck with a needle every time.
