He was diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma (Kidney cancer) on January 6th and had his left kidney and grapefruit sized tumor removed on January 8th.

I even hired our own caregivers to be with my mother when she was in the hospital to make sure they fed her the right food regarding her kidney disease, to help her find her favorite show on the TV, and to visit.

I am 64 years, overweight, have diabetes, high blood pressure and only one kidney.

He first said he was a cash buyer, then the story turned into his bank needed an appraisal - this is a distressed property so no bank will loan on it and it's only $60k, then he had kidney stones. . .yada, yada.

Seriously - worry about the anti-competitive / price fixing behavior & you'll be able to afford the *good* equipment without selling a kidney.

Maybe that is the wave of the future, or drugs that prevent kidney failure, etc. 

My day job as an engineer is making life saving devices for the medical industry (used to do coronary catheters and stents for people suffering heart attacks, currently working on dialysis access for patients with failing kidneys)The lower wall was concrete and steel reinforced, it was constructed of blocks that key together with 1/2" diameter fiberglass pins so that it doesn't shift while being filled with concrete. 

For some time, we were even a preferred developer for a few national kidney dialysis tenants.

Savings account and left kidney.

When that happens I think we sometimes feel like someone punched us in the kidney and we are laying on the ground and can not move.
