Medical Question

[J'Pol]

Is it possible to carry on a full and active life if you have one of your livers removed surgically.

I'm a bit short of cash just now and was thinking of selling one to raise some readies. Otherwise there will be no apple in the near future.

[MetroStars]

stay fit, eat the right foods & don't get pissed on a daily basis,

and u will b fine...

I believe that up to 80% of the liver can be removed with no immediate danger. As to a normal live afterwards, leave that to the experts to answer.

That&#39;s a bit of a blow.

What about one of my pancreases. Would I have to cut back on the sugary foods ?

I wouldn&#39;t trust muchspl2&#39;s medical diagnosis over the internet, it can&#39;t be accurate.

no you need that also, you could sell a kidney or a testicle, but not sure of the black market prices :blink:

This is a serious money raising venture.

Do you think I should try e-bay. 1 testicle + 1 kidney. Must sell as pair.

Should I include a photo ?

Edit: there&#39;s a thought, you could sell one of your eyes, didn&#39;t you have a spare glass one a while back?

I suppose I could take your advice. Sell one of the livers for a trial, say a month.

If it doesn&#39;t work out I could always have it put back in.

[Billy_Dean]

Sell both of your bollocks, you&#39;ll still have plenty left.

[bigboab]

You could sell your liver and go on the new Strongbow life support drip. Static at the moment, but a portable is in the testing stages. It is not too heavy to carry around. Actually gets lighter afer most alleyways. :rolleyes:

What pity thinking here.

Why not sell yourself??

To someone who will feed you vegetarian, maybe???

You could sell your small intestine by the foot.

Sorry, there is no easy way to break this kind of bad news, you only have 1 liver and don&#39;t go trying to sell your spleen either, it too is unpaired.

[UKMan]

He can still donate 80% of his liver and very quietly on the side ask for a small donation in return. Even 1 kidney is up for grabs these days :D

[J'Pol]

I don&#39;t have a small intestine by my foot Hobbes.

Ah, no problems then, you should&#39;nt have small bowel there.

[bigboab]

I think you better shows a pic JP before it end in a fit of peek. :P

[bigboab]

Trouble with your bowels now. You are a medical disaster. :D

[J'Pol]

So what do you think hobbes / boab.

How much will I get for my small bowel ?

Enough for a bottle of apple you think.

[bigboab]

Definately. One of those with 25% extra. Dont settle for less. :lol:

[J'Pol]

I normally go for the ASDA 3L at £2.58.

It&#39;s even better value than the Strongbow 25% free and it tastes better.

It is the direct cause of some of my most lucid posting in this very place.

If you want the good stuff (apple-wise), I would suggest you forget about selling your small bowel and sell your http://helmer.aksis.uib.no/menota/guidelines/ch5/ch5gif/colon.gif, instead.

[J'Pol]

Could I sell half of it instead.

(Over to you boab)

[j2k4]

I have an order here for a "foot hobbes" but I don&#39;t know what it is or which of you to speak to about it.

Why not sell your bodily fluids (not blood)?

They aren&#39;t worth much, but if you&#39;re like me you produce a lot of them.

That and discipline can result in a hefty savings account:

Mine is currently worth &#036;9.51; and this after only 12 years&#33;

I&#39;m saving for a pint of Glenfiddich for me funeral. :)

If we die coincidentally, Bigboab, you can share mine. :)

Unless you contribute to my account, in which case maybe buy a fifth and split it?

How do you fair with regard to fluid production, personally? :huh:

Okay, then-I suggest you start saving milk jugs for storage. ;)

[internet.news]

vegetables should be cheap, anyway, I would give you some money,
if I had something (At the moment I am not working) or I would also give
you some food. :)

But another issue: I cannot eat whole the time the same, so I am eating
mixed stuff... It is important for your health to eat mixed ;)

And also fast food is not the best as same as coffee (unfortunately coffee tastes good, expecially nescafe): it can cause really not wonderful and not FUNNY
shit problems... I speak from experience&#33; Better soft shit than hard shit...

[J'Pol]

I&#39;m trying to get some serious advice here and all you people do is spam the post.

What about selling an ovary, I can surely get by with just one of those. I&#39;m not really that active anyway.

[bigboab]

I suggest you get all this written down JP. You realise if you sell half your colon, as indicated earlier. You would not be able to use the other half or semi-colon unless you were beyond the comma stage. Under these condition someone would have to act on your behalf or half as you would have reached by this point.

You could throw in your brains as a loss leader ;)
