google is not my friend today

[Stella]

I am trying to find a list of "rules" for donating a kidney, and a list of rules, for receiving a kidney. something like you cannot donate if you are diabetic, or if you are 99 years old? something?

I keep getting all sorts of other sites but the one i am looking for.

man.... google betrayed me. i cannot believe that lol

thanks for the link. *muah*

( know it all at work said i could no longer receive or donate a kidney because I have a tattoo now)

Re: google is not my friend today

A tattoo would ruin your chances of receiving/donating a kidney? Why, did you go to a disreputable place and they used dirty needles? That is a stupid thing to say.

Re: google is not my friend today

it was in an alley at night, but the tent seemed to be ok. he did have a good looking all shiney sterile looking machine... also heard that if you have a tramp stamp (lower back tattoo) then you cannot get an epidural. however I was never lucky enough to get one in the first place, and won't need one, for child birth.

people are crazy. i knew it sounded stupid when she said it.

Re: google is not my friend today

The all important questions Stella - did he spit on the needle first to get it lubricated or did he just start jabbing away? The spit should have sterilized the spot

Re: google is not my friend today

They Probably Want You To Wait A Specific Amount Of Time After A Tattoo, Just To Make Sure No Diseases Were Passed On Thru The Needle. Some Diseases Don't Show Up For 6-12 Yrs, Or More Actually. But I Bet That's Old, Because Tattoo Places Are Pretty Well Controlled/watched Over For Their Cleanliness (sp?) But Jail House Tattoo's Are Different. You Don't Have One Of Those Do You Stella??? Lol

hey sabine lol
yea i posted about it.
it was a wild girly weekend. last weekend in may, karen and i met in huntsville, on a whim we got tattoos.

I got a butterfly on top of my foot, she got a small cross on her ankle.

HOWEVER
my butterfly is beautiful and perfect in every way and i really like it, i can show it if i want too and i can easily hide it as well, many shoes will cover it, i can put a quarter over it and just a little bit of the wings peek out.

karen on the other hand...
no, turns out the poor girl is allergic to the ink.
her's oozed, bleed, scabbed over for a solid 6 weeks. she was on pret-na-zone
for 15 days... 3 doctor appointments.
today, her fuschia pink tattoo with the skinny black outline, is not peach, grey and fuzzy with a tad bit of pink in the corners. it looks terrible.
i have pics, lemme grab some i'll post them.

My DH donated a kidney so that I could get a kidney 5 years ago and he has my name, a heart and our anniversary date tattooed on his wrist and he had that tattoo at the time he donated.

I have a neighbor who got a kidney from her husband, early this year, and she seems to be doing fine. I see her walk all the time.

LOL Stella, Yes, I remember now that you posted about it. Sorry your friend's didn't turn out good. I didn't know that you could be allergic to the ink maybe she should consider having it removed ??
