I'm not one to say things happen for a reason, the universe is big so there's gonna be a lot of coincidences but damn good luck right there.

Mother-in-law fell, fractured hip, but they found stage 4 blood cancer. She got treated, full remission, & lived several more healthy years

Good surgeon!

Turns out he’s really good. Cost me nothing, other than the taxes I’ve been paying for the last 25 years.

So is it safe to say you've taken it off sweet jumps before?

It’s was like mr bean having a bike fall, but it was a jump. I’m just useless
SimonDeCat
I know that feeling, not as bad as yours by all means. We stopped to recollect and I fell off as we got going again, now I need surgery...

So in a way, your back luck having a grievous accident was good luck

My buddy was benching his max and tore his chest muscles away from his ribs, in surgery they find a tumor that was hidden from scans. 1/2
Ravenlord4711
2/2 the thing would have killed him within 6 months.

Im scared to ask how you split a kidney
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
The medical term is a renal laceration. The layman's term is a ruptured kidney. Kidneys are relatively high pressure devices filled with (1)
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
blood (there job is to filter blood and the main mechanism of filtration they use is pressure). B/c it has a high pressure, it can (2)
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
sometimes "pop" in high enough impact traumas. The spleen is actually MUCH more likely to rupture than the kidney. In general, the body (3)
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
is pretty good at containing small ruptures and healing itself without surgery. (4)

Landed on my side in the bike prang
McFluffySundae
So like the kidney was just cut in half?
ljnumber8
Pretty much. Not half, but the top bit split through. Looked like it was smashed by a hammer on the ct
SociallyAwkwardCanadianMoose
Uh, can they fix that or do you have one less kidney?
ljnumber8
Fixed itself! All good
OnlyInDreams
So if you never fell off your bike....

Correct! Luck, miracle or some kind of blessing. I’m thanking everyone!

Sameish with my wife!! She bought this cleanse kit, chem imbalance landed her in the hospital. MRI revealed 4 tumors in liver to blame.
RedbuIIVodka
Surgeon found 7 in all, now all removed. Crazy! All revealed by a stupid cleanse!
Ryebread91
Could they now claim “can even lead to removal of tumors” on their packaging?

Good thing you fell off that bike

RedbuIIVodka
Yes, something in the cleanse kit sent her ammonia levels skyrocketing, to a state of intoxicarion. Her liver wasn't removing it naturally

"Uh...you're fucking welcome." - cleanse kit
Drunktinyoctupuswantstofight
Ironically that sounds super toxic- anything that can increase ammonia to the point that the liver can’t cope is pretty much poison
MrRareza
I'm thinking the buttload of tumors may have caused an issue, but still, screw that cleanse! Or...uhh...i guess yay for it, though? O.o
Thisoldmanheplaysbass
is intoxicarion the act of getting high from dead animals?

Yup. And vultures never check luggage. They only have carrion.
