wow. just catching up with an old friend, who's going into surgery next week to donate half her liver because that's just who she is

thing she taught me which has blown my mind: the donated part of the liver can grow back in a healthy person

@patience sort of! its not as good as a fresh one but its better than ntohing

@nire well, i'm more wondering what her new liver growth will be like in its effectiveness versus the oem part of the liver

@patience i think its not much of a deficit but its such that you can only donate so many times without it not being good for transplating

@nire i'm still astounded

@patience yeah bodies are really cool! livers and fingertips and i think thats it, are what regenerate
