Polycystic Kidney Disease
Our own WUvian, Tyrusguy, had polycystic kidney disease, in which the kidneys form cysts all over them. Over time the kidneys become very large, Ty's were 20 pounds, and stop functioning. Eventually the kidneys must be removed and the patient must go on dialysis until they receive a new kidney. I say he had the disease because he no longer does since the 'evil twins' were removed on lucky Friday the 13th. Ty came through with flying colors and is recuperating at home. A picture of his kidneys is in extended, not safe for stomachs- you have been duly warned.

Don't let the pictures fool you!
The twins don't look that much like me!
And they don't act like me at ALL!

WOW! Not a way to lose weight quickly. Wish for a speedy recovery and a good replacement.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Ty!
Those evil twin things look a lot like some kind of nasty red jello.
