that gives me respect for Khloe and shows her intentions are pure, my biggest concern for Lamar was what if he makes it through rehab and she is there then she says ok glad yo uare better im off to see James he would have been in worse shape |

If they really give it a good effort to try their life together again, I really hope that this time around, they can keep Lamar out of the show. _________________ "We got a new universe coming and he's going to control all our universes.

Great video.
Six hours a day dialysis. I believe eventually he's going to need/get a transplant.
Had a friend on dialysis. He told me, in private, he was tired. He took his name off the transplant list. He said he would only start drinking again if he got the transplant.
He passed about three months later.
Dialysis is a chore. I don't know how long people last when they take the treatment. Anyone know? |
Since Odom is rich would he be able to get a kidney on pretty short notice if he is willing to pay? If this happened in Australia, hypothetically, would he be stuck on a waiting list? |
No. In the US it is illegal to buy body parts. | Right. I don't mean buying the body part, I mean buying the procedure. If you have no insurance and money for the best doctors in the world you cannot get a kidney significantly faster than someone on medi-cal? |
rate-limiting-step is getting the organ - so like bls said, it is illegal to buy an organ in the US. No shortage of surgeons ready to do the procedure if the organ is available.
Money won't get Odom a kidney. A willing family member who is a match could. Otherwise, he has to wait on the transplant list like everyone else. |
This is not the America I signed up for Mr Trump. |

Well, best of luck to LO & Khloe; I hope for LO's recovery and that they can resolve all their issues. I mean, they'll have a better, stronger marriage if they can stick together and weather the storm. _________________ “Love is the force that ignites the spirit and binds teams together.” - Phil Jackson |

Khloe and Lamar
Call Off Divorce
We're Giving Marriage a Second Chance
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom have jointly gone to court to dismiss their divorce case, because they want to stay husband and wife ... TMZ has learned.
Khloe's lawyer Laura Wasser went before a judge Wednesday morning, asking a judge to withdraw the papers they both signed to end their marriage. The file was sitting in a pile waiting to be processed and signed by a judge.
The judge granted Wasser's request and the file is now dead.
Khloe filed for divorce in December 2013, but sat on it for a year and a half because she tried to save her marriage by trying to get Lamar into rehab. She finally gave up this summer.
As we reported, Khloe privately vowed to be by Lamar's side during his recovery, which will take months, and a few days ago they both agreed to give their marriage another chance. They both signed the document Wasser presented to the judge, asking that the divorce case be dismissed.
Lamar signed Tuesday from his hospital bed -- Wasser signed on behalf of Khloe.

Being married to an addict has to be the worst situation a married person can be in.
Its not as simple as Lamar goes to rehab and Khloe waits for him to return clean. |

Bill Plaschke keeping it 100 as always. Great article by the LA Times.
I wonder if Eric Pincus aka Emplay had anything to do with this article as well.

Kardashians' freak show capitalizes on Lamar Odom one more time
Quote: | As one of the many media members who fell in love with Odom's sweet soul during his 12 seasons as a pro baller in Los Angeles, I watched in sadness last week as he fought for his life after being found unresponsive in a brothel. Police reported that witnesses said Odom had been on a binge that lasted several days in which he used herbal sex stimulants and cocaine.
Yet the horror increased when it became apparent that even his most dire moments were going to be stolen by the tacky reality TV show that had already taken so much.

Im not a Kardashian fan, dont watch "reality TV".
However, I love Odom. He'll always be Laker family and if Klhoe is what will keep him grounded, if that is where he finds happiness, and if that keeps him alive and present for his children, then more power to them.
To be clear, Khloe isnt taking him back after him messing around, its more like they're both taking each other back. |

Bill really needs to hush sometimes. She spent every single day in that hospital next to him and even slept on the floor in a sleeping bag, they are now calling off the divorce.
He literally has no ground to stand on at this point. Sounds like he's the one trying to capitalize off something at this point. Which is his MO. |

Khloe did good. He's not talking about her.
He's talking about the entire Kardashian reality tv frenzy.
You be a damn fool if you wouldn't agree their entire family is a circus. An Bill has every damn right to make this point. He's been the Lakers beat writer for like two decades.
I get it that anything that is bashing the Kardashians is getting annoying. But with that said anything supporting them isn't getting any less annoying as well lol. An as much as they like to publicize they aren't filming don't be a fool an act like they aren't thinking in the back of their minds how they are going to shoot the comeback story of Lamar and Khloe. Guaranteed Kris Jenner and Seacrest is setting something up. _________________ "Tryin' to get that Kobe number, One Over Jordan"

Okay....and??? I really get tired of people acting like or refusing to acknowledge Lamar's willingness to be a part of the circus. The Kardashians are what they are and they were that way when Lamar married into that family. He wasn't some blindfolded kidnapping victim in the back of a van. Lamar likes the circus. If he didn't, he would've never married that girl. _________________ So glad we gave you your flowers while you were here, Kobe. |

I agree with this which makes me wonder if he was in really bad shape as we're lead to believe. I mean a week ago a lot of us believed he was at death's door now he makes a miraculous recovery and can call off a divorce?
How was he able to sign off over not calling off the divorce if he's in such bad shape?
I continue to be skeptical about all of this. |

Looks like Odom is going to pull through from reports, but if he doesn't she would now get a whole lot more than the $10M life insurance policy. And if he does pull through she can just get the divorce again later. |

I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet, but there better not be even one instance of a "Keeping up with the Kardashians" cameraman filming any of this. It would truly be disgusting, even for that family. |

I'm so angry with all the Khloe bashers!
She never left his side for over 4 days and would jump up from sleeping (on a cot next to his bed) every time he'd wake up so whenever he woke up he knew she was still there for him. She arranged for his ex, his kids and his dad to fly to his side. She got specialists from LA to go to Las Vegas to give him the best care. Doesn't sound like she wanted him to die to get his $$ to me!!
Khloe really loves Lamar. If you watched their reality show you'd have known that already. |

Please try to stick to the topic. Lamar's recovery and his wife's help with that is fine. But I don't want this thread to descend into long-winded, Plashke-like rants and bickering again. As was previously requested, if you want to rant about the K-family, start a thread in the OT forum. Thanks.

I'd also like to point out that Plashke accusing others of being drama queens for money is ironic, to say the least. |
