LostUpstate Posted April 16 Posted April 16 I’m surprised that no one answered, but they found a match for him, and so far, he’s doing well. He’s back on RM and has a couple good reviews. He has a picture on his profile of himself with his sexy silver beard and you can see a faint scar on his abdomen. Glad he’s okay! BSR, + m_writer and MikeThomas 2 1

It is sad, too, that he devoted himself to the " industry" and its allied "arts" and ended up with nothing to show for his endeavour in his bank account. OMG 😱 dude wtf Wagging ur chuch lady finger in his direction is certainly kicking a dude when hes down and shows a lack of empathy on your part. Update: awesome to hear he’s recovering ❤️🩹 Edited April 17 by JTtorretto

Blood pressure is the usual culprit, and a lot of people don't realize they have it because you generally feel fine with it. + DrownedBoy and Constantine 2

Update: awesome to hear he’s recovering ❤️🩹 Please, I ain't wagging no finger; rather stating the reality of "livin' the life". That he is making a full recovery of his health is, as they say, "good news"

Funny thing is we can give our organs to any blood type but we can only receive o+ organs. I was listed 2 months ago for a heart transplant. Doctors said 6-9 months was likely but can vary like crazy. On 10/29/2023 at 9:12 PM, Nomadic said: The issue isn't what is the largest blood type, it is who can be a donor and who can be a receiver. Setting aside positive and negative blood types .... O is the best "donor" type while AB is the best "receiver" type. Someone with an O kidney can donate to O, A, B or AB Someone with an A kidney can receive from an O or A kidney Someone with a B kidney can receive from an O or B kidney Someone with an AB kidney can receive from an O, A, B or AB kidney But, someone with an O kidney can only receive from an O kidney. So even though O+ is the largest blood type, he has a smaller pool of available donors to find an available kidney from. I'm glad Dominic is doing well. But I think there's been some misinformation about blood types and who can get what organ. So... 1. There are two major blood type systems. The ABO and the RH. 2. There are also minor 'systems' that can come into play and make matching more difficult beyond the ABO system. 3. You can consider A and B to be sugars( actually carbohydrates ) that are attached to red blood cells. O means you don't have either carbohydrate attached to your blood cells. You get Either an A, a B, or a nothing from each parent. If one parent is O- then all they can give is a nothing. An A parent can be either AA-received an A from both of their parents. Or might have received an A from one of their parents and a nothing from the other-so they would be an AO person but on blood tests they would show up as an A person. People receiving A carbohydrates from both parents would most likely have more of the carbohydrate on their blood cells. Or take my case. My mother has blood type O. My dad had blood type B. I'm O (actually O negative but we'll get to that). Assuming my dad is my dad, he must have had an O from -or rather a nothing gene from one of his parents-otherwise I'd be a B also. People who receive an A gene from one parent and a B gene from the other have AB blood. They have A and B carbohydrates on each blood cell. 4. Rh is more complicated. It's actually more than one substance. They are a set of proteins. The major one is the D protein. It's inherited separately from the A and B carbohydrates. So that's why we can have A+ ( meaning you have an A carbohydrate on your blood cell and an Rh protein on it too.). I'm O negative. I have no A or B carbohydrate on my blood cells and no Rh protein. 5. Normally your body reacts to things that you don't have. For example -an O negative person receiving anything but O negative blood will cause a transfusion reaction. An AB positive person can receive (as a simplification ) any blood type. They can receive A or B blood because they have A and B carbohydrates. They can receive O blood because there are no carbohydrates on O blood. They can receive either Rh positive blood because they are positive. They can receive negative blood because there is no protein there for them to react to. And obviously they can receive their own type AB + or AB negative. On the other hand an AB negative person -meaning the Rh protein isn't present can only receive blood from negative donors. That's why I can only receive blood from other O negs. I can't tolerate blood that has A or B carbohydrates in it. And i can't handle blood that has the Rh protein in it. 6. Now to correct what was said before on transplants. If only ABO and Rh types were the considering factors-they're not-but a few examples AB + can receive a transplant from anyone. An AB negative can only receive from someone who's negative for the RH factor-but they could have blood types of A-,B-, O- , or of course their own blood type AB- . Another example-an A negative person could receive a transplant from another A negative or an O negative donor. I can only receive organs from another O negative person. But I can give my organs to anyone-or I could if I were younger, in good shape, and didn't have an autoimmune disease. 7. There are other blood 'systems' they are termed minor. But they can still cause incompatibilities which would lead to transfusion reactions. And transplants they look at more than just the ABO and Rh systems. Edited April 17 by Gar1eth MikeThomas 1
