The statue stayed on the top of my parents fridge my whole life, and now sits on mine.

11. 2 years ago I found out I was born with a duplicate ureter. It was making me terribly sick, and I had to have it removed. They had to cut 20% of my right kidney out... and now it no longer functions. So I just have one functioning kidney now.
