I had a kidney removed (for medical reasons) AMA

So when I was 29, I had to have a kidney removed due to a really horrible infection and chronic drainage issues in my left kidney. It was to save .h life. I was sick for years afterwards but eventually bounced back. I started having issues with the drainage at 12 when a nerve grew around my left ureter (UPJ obstruction) its pretty common. I spent 15 to 29 really sick most of the time. My parents didn’t remove the kidney at 15 when my condition was discovered because I always wanted kids and only having one kidney can complicate that. (IMO they should have and I wouldn’t have been upset) You can have kids with one kidney, just to clarify. But now at 41, with 2 bios and 3 step, able to enjoy my life with little to no more pain in regards to my kidney, anyway, I don’t regret the journey. It taught me a lot. I also know secret passages at the children’s hospital I basically lived at all sophomore year in high school.
