The bottom line is that there are probably half a dozen ways the writers could explain it. Do we really need it spelled out in the show? Yes, yes I do, and I need it to make sense or the show has completely lost me for the season if she's to play any sort of role more than another episode or two. He can ask me to believe the impossible, but not the improbable. He's already stretching that with having her in soccer since there's no way she would be doing that. Neither the school or her doctors would condone it. My school wouldn't even let me participate in the soccer segment in gym when I went, or the volleyball segment amongst others because the school didn't want to be held liable if something happened. The transplanted kidney isn't protected by anything more than your own layer of fat because it's placed on top of your lower abs on one side.

TLDR: yes, I need an explanation that shows he thought about this throughly because he's already made mistakes with her athletics. Wow, you seem to be taking this issue a little to personally or seeriously.

Anyways, was there ever a definite date mentioned?

For all we know she could have had the surgery a few weeks or a few years. Or are you saying that people who have transplants can never again participate in strenious activites. Cause I know a football player who had one with the heart and still kept on playing for several years.

The whole foreign body thing though, maybe you have a point, or maybe it's explainable(I'm pretty sure we'll never know) but, it's sure that their physiology changes when they turn. Isn't it possible that the physiology changed just enough for the body to recognize the new organ as local, Smallville and Tokyo Ghoul anyone?

Yes, this is close to me, since I have a kidney transplant. This is my second. My first was when I was 6.

Honestly, I don't think he's doctor would've approved of that too much. But regardless, it's different since they literally break your ribs to put the heart in the chest cavity, so it's protected by the ribs.

The kidney is not put up where your real ones are (in the back under your lower ribs) they are placed on top of your lower abs under your fat. Literally NO protection. You CANNOT play sports that there is an impact possibility, body wise or ball wise. EVER. Without major risk to the transplant.

Btw she said "a few years ago" that's the only reason I'm not bitching about her having to pay for micophenolate. Because Medicare picks up transplant meds 100% for the first three years, so it's been longer than that. And ALL ESRD patients regardless of age get on Medicare.
