They filter the entire body's blood 60 times a day. Over an average lifetime, they filter more than a million litres of blood, breaking down proteins and carefully draining out the bad stuff and leaving the good stuff. They are pieces of precision engineering that function so perfectly most of the time that most people just take them for granted. Nobody ever thinks of themselves as being a kidney success, and most people have no real idea what would happen to you if your kidneys stopped working. A few months ago, I failed comprehensively at kidneys. I lost a war of attrition, over several decades, with an auto-immune disease. Mine are the kidneys that failed their exams repeatedly, dropped out of remedial class and now spend their days kicking cans and smoking fagbutts in the alley behind the supermarket. And I can now tell you exactly what happens to you when your kidneys fail. ]]> http://www.bangkokbounce.com/?feed=rss2&p=391 0 http://www.bangkokbounce.com/?p=261 http://www.bangkokbounce.com/?p=261#comments Sun, 05 Dec 2010 08:50:15 +0000 bounceologist http://www.bangkokbounce.com/?p=261 In January, 2011, I'll be taking a road trip around Thailand for the country launch of the Waboba Ball. It promises to be a remarkable trip, not least because there is something special about me. I'm bionic. And that's not a joke, either. I am entirely dependent for life on a machine, appropriately called Baxter, who accompanies me everywhere in an enormous grey suitcase. Baxter sleeps by day but works dilligently by nigh, making cheerful hisses and gurgles, as he restores my body in preparation for the next day of the trip. It promises to be quite a journey. If you would like me or another salesperson to drop in on you and show you the Waboba Ball, get in touch with us today.]]> http://www.bangkokbounce.com/?feed=rss2&p=261 0
