I went to my massage therapist today and was telling her about my kidney problems. She suggested I name my kidneys in order to picture them as a friend I was taking care of rather than an enemy.
Anyways.. if you had to name your kidneys what would you call them and why?
-
Heh. That's cute.
-
Well, I just need one and so I would call it "Life."
-
Hmmmm, i think Bonnie and Clyde, cuz they are bad mofo's (and unfortunately, so are my kidneys) :( ;)
-
Yea right :D
I treated mine as a friend and the little bastards stabbed me in the back and went and did their own thing and decided that they were going to retire while they were still young. ;D
-
I am a little resentful of mine, and usually prefer not to think of them at all. I had an ultra-sound when I was first diagnosed and they said that mine were smaller than they should be, that they had shrunk. Hoever this thread is making me rethink my feelings, and now I will try to think good thoughts about them. I'll call them Amos and Andy. Hi, guys! How y'all doin'?
-
How about dead and deader?
-
To be accurate I think I'll call them "Crap", "Junk", and "Jose".
-
Lazy and Sleepy. ;D
-
To be accurate I think I'll call them "Crap", "Junk", and "Jose".
Do you have three?
-
Yes three total.
-
Had 3 now have none, so ill call them "extinct".
-
My originals were removed so they are "gone" and "long gone" .. the transplanted one .. I will call "failed" :P
-
Petite and Smaller- that is what the ultrasound and biopsy guy called 'em! I just call them Useless and Inadequate...
-
Poncho and Lefty because they are not loyal to each other.
-
Being a PKD patient, I'd call mine Cysty and Cystiful.
-
I never named my orignal kidneys..... but my first transplanted kidney I knew came from Newfoundland, so I called it Newf.... *L* I kinda forgot about that till now... never named my second one either... I might call it Judas, because it betrayed me...
-
Both mine have gone the way of the dinosaurs "Extinct", so why bother.
-
I named my last kidney Madison. I got it in Madison, Wisconsin.
My friend, another transplant recipient named hers, but I cannot remember the name for the life of me...
-
:o ::)
-
Madison and Avenue >:D
-
personally? I call one "Useless" and the other "B******s!" >:D
what? its true... they are like lazy co-workers... don't do quarter of the work... quit/retire early... etc... just the type of co-workers you just want to say "useless b******s!" about.
-
Never named them until now,so from now on they will be known as Dumb and Dumber! ;)
-
I never named my old ones, but I named my husbands when we thought he was giving me my kidney (he matched then I git a really bad UTI and my body changed so that I no longer matched him---which is very unheard of). It's name would have been Chanley James or CJ cause my father in laws name is James Chanley and he hates Chanley and I love it so just to torment him it would have been James Chanley, Also my sons name is CG (no periods and it doesn't stand for anything-it was my grandpas name) and I thought CG and CJ would be cute.
