I have had a kidney transplant. About 1987 I was diagnosed as having Polycystic kidney disease (PKD).

In 2003 my kidney function had dropped to about 12% and I started haemodialysis. I had to go to my local hospital 3 times a week for 4 hours each time to do dialysis. I was taught how to use the machines and one was installed in my house so I could do dialysis at home. This gave me the freedom of when to do dialysis but is would take 6 hours each time (including setting up and cleaning the machine). This was a big chunk out of my day!

In 2007 a friend offered me one of his kidneies. He went through the various test required and it was found that his kidney was compatible with me. August 2007 I had a kidney transplant.

The transplant has given me the opportunity to lead an almost normal life. I have had some problems since the transplant buut the kidney itself is functioning very well.

Hope this is the sort of thing you are looking for.

Finish your story and you should have a good conclusion in mind when you get to the point of needing one. What do you think would logically happen if someone broke into your house in real life?

To get out of a yarn story, you can gently steer the conversation by acknowledging the story's enjoyment and then redirecting to a different topic. You might say something like, "That's a fascinating tale! Speaking of stories, have you seen any good movies lately?" This approach shows appreciation while smoothly transitioning away from the yarn.
