> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > And don’t forget to pray if you do that, or think good thoughts if you don’t, for the donor and his or her family who made this painful and courageous decision to donate their loved one’s organs, if this is a cadaver kidney. Every year on August 2 we remembered the donor’s family, keenly aware that for them our happy anniversary was a sad one. We never knew who it was, just a young man who had been killed in a motorcycle accident. ☹ > [@Superdude](#): > > One of the neat things about a kidney transplant is that, unless the other kidneys are cancerous/diseased and posing a threat to other body parts, the surgeons will, a lot of times, [leave the old kidneys in place](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_transplantation). > … I don’t know if they do this for everyone, but my husband’s new kidney was placed in the lower right quadrant (abdomen). He had to be conscious of protecting that area in the future. The normal kidney location is somewhat shielded by the ribs. ---
