Little Kidney, Big Kidney

My pal Michele of Crowded Teeth told me a cute story about a friend of hers who got her boyfriend's kidney after one of hers failed. It seems he's a very big guy and she's very wee, so her newer and larger kidney sticks out a little bit. I never really thought about the fact that -- duh -- your organs are proportionate to your body size. Obvious, but interesting. Hell, if that kidney fits, go ahaed and wear it.

    So sad that the kidney plush and lapel pins are sold out… I’m donating a kidney to my brother in a few weeks, so I thought it would be great to give him one of these, since this is what he’s getting for Christmas!
