I hope these issues become easier with time, and I wish you the best.
Perhaps your situation is a bit different though - it looks like there may be something genetic.

As for your mother, yesterday, I found a program that does something interesting:
If your mother is willing to donate a kidney in your name, I believe this organization will exchange that kidney for a compatible one. I hope this information can be of use to you.
Here's the link. Scroll down to the section called "Exchange Programs."

Today there is an organ donor shortage in America today.

For those who don't know, in America, being a registered organ donor means that should you die, doctors and EMT will try to salvage your organs. These organs will be used to save the lives of people who need transplants.


For those of you are not willing to give your organs, what is your reasoning behind not being a registered organ donor?

Let me add that complications - internal bleeding and infection - are extremely rare during kidney transplant surgery. What's more, internal bleeding can be stopped and infections can be treated, making the risk even smaller.

I was reading about kidney donation today and now I find myself faced with a dilemma.

To begin with, humans can live a full, normal life with only one kidney because the remaining kidney grows to do the work of two. Thus, life expectancy is not known to be affected when we have only one kidney.

In the US, there is a shortage of organs, particularly for kidneys. In light of the above information, wouldn't it be prudent to encourage everyone to be willing to donate their extra kidney? (They usually only take the kidney when they're going to give it to someone right away, I hear, so most people would end up not donating anyhow.)

Finally, the question I am asking myself is: What reasons are there *against* donating a kidney?

I turn the question to you guys.

Yeah, I was surprised to find that many (most?) adults are still children!

By looking at buildings, I meant to say that I'm fleeing. roll 5

Krin looks around area J -- what's he see at building 15 and 17?

Krin rolls a 5 as he swears under his breath, "Man, I'm screwed!"

Kris decides to scout ahead for the monster the party saw earlier. He rolls a 4 (d4) as he moves into the shadows and carefully moves ahead towards intersection J.

Krin looks through the shaman's belongings. After finding whatever he finds, Krin tells the group, "I'm going to sneak ahead to take a look at the monster. Wait here."

Krin takes aim with his bow and fires! (Rolls 2)

Krin rolls a 3.

Krin's eyes open. "Did we kill him?" he mumbles, then sees the headless orc body before him. "Always with the head, eh, Zero?"

Zero lets Krin down and they head to Intersection I.

Seipher taps Krin's shoulder and holds out a hand expectantly. "Wha-oh, uh...money for the potions? Geez..." Krin hands over 11gp.

Krin groans as he passes in and out of consciousness.

Krin waves at Alisha from the ground.

Krin rolls a 4.

Group heads to H.

Grp goes to F

Krin reaches in a pouch and eats a bit of food (-1 ration).

Group heads to Intersection C.
