Akinomaki 41,181 Posted December 23, 2024 (edited) Konishiki (60) today while leaving the hospital had a press conference there with his wife Chie (48), who gave him one of her kidneys after he suffered from renal failure. He was in hospital since Nov. 20th and had a 6h kidney transplant surgery on the 4th, from the same doctor as Musashigawa/-maru 7 years ago. Konishiki had kidney problems for 8 years now, in August they had a one week test if the transplant was possible. He is at around 154kg now, down from 165kg before surgery, and announced he'll make it to age 99.9. o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Edited December 24, 2024 by Akinomaki 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
