Lost a Lot of blood at kidney treatment last week by accident

Trying to avoid a hospital stay, but man I’m exhausted still. Did a narcolepsy at the 7-11 again today.

Maybe I should get a Jamba will all the boosts?

They started giving me the Lance Armstrong drugs but haven’t quite kicked in yet

Anyway Las Vegas is cool in a. Lot of ways I didn’t anticipate

07/17/2024

I’m back online!

My phone was getting repaired and been off the grid a few days

Also had a Pretty serious mishap at kidney treatment and lost a lot of blood but I’m on the mend and d have avoided a Hospital stay.

Strangely, I think I like Las Vegas more than Miami? The people are way cooler and life is way cheaper here. Come visit I have a very cool poolside apartment a couple blocks from Fremont street, which seems like the ocean drive for Vegas

Wanna thank everyone who helped make this possible on gofundme and at my benefit concert in Salem. Raised about $6,000 and it’s awesome!

However my new NV insurance hasn’t kicked in yet and I’m almost out of the pills that make it so food doesn’t poison me. Thought id just buy them out of my own pocket, but turns out they’re $1600 a month!

There’s still a few days left on my saving Brando fundraiser and cashapp saving Brando if you want to help out a bit! It’s fun and real easy!

It’s really come to this- my ninth life, my hail Mary It’s more than … Brandon Swarthout needs your support for Saving Brando: Hail Mary Kidney Situation

Sneak Peek at the new apartment. I think I’m gonna like it here. Right here on the edge of the Fremont district.

These cell phone pics don’t do it justice but the patio view of the 70s style light animation on the Plaza hotel is so rad in a boogie nights type way.

The bathroom is almost bigger than the living room and a closet will make a sweet voice over studio

So this is my last weekend in Miami, before I head off to America other most ridiculous city, Las Vegas in hope of getting my kidney surgery.

Life is weird. This is another unexpected chapter and I’m going w it.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped!

Between gofundme, cashapp and the extra special Salem Fundraiser show, I’ve raised a little over $5k.

My stepdad, Don Denning really surprised by donating his old car (vintage Lexus hybrid) and put on new tires and tuneup. This will be a huge help to have a car w a/c in the hot hot heat of the desert.

Flying out on Monday and trying to sell the rest of my furniture this weekend.

Turns out it’s not too late to contribute and share to the Saving Brando campaign. Then just write it off! (in a Costanza voice)

So from what I’ve heard, last nights Braving Sando fundraiser was a success and good times were had. Wish I was there..

Major thanks to Wende for hosting this- multiple people told me how awesome you are today

Nathan Junior and Scott Bauer with the hot moves and ripping Lucky Pluckers band thanks so much I heard you guys finally got decent at guitars.

Troy Stose I heard you bought 100raffle tickets!

It’s really come to this- my ninth life, my hail Mary It’s more than a year past when I thought I’d have the new Florida kidney! My health is not getting bet...

Kinda stoked on moving to Las Vegas in two weeks… never thought I’d say that

Ended up getting a sweet deal on an apartment close to downtown and the kidney hospital

My parents gave me their old car, which is cool. Riding motorcycles after kidney treatment is kinda sketchy in the 110 degree summer… it’s a vintage hybrid Lexus which is actually very cool

I’ll be in a better situation as far as getting transplant sooner and everything in Las Vegas costs about half of Miami life

Although I’m gonna miss Miami for it’s tropical ways and rad style, I’ll be glad to be back on the west coast where people get my jokes

If I have the energy I’m kinda looking forward to having a car and riding desert trails on my emoto

The discount seafeeds seem pretty awesome

Come visit me the flights are cheap and I’ll be a Vegas expert

Okay I’ve switched to gofundme- disregard the fundly link and use this instead. Thanks you guys are awesome!

Dropping my online Saving Brando fundraiser today at 7pm eastern on gofundme. Link in bio

It’s really come to this- my ninth life, my hail Mary

It’s more than a year past when I thought I’d have the new Florida kidney! My health is not getting better and time is running tf out

They took me off the list for six months cause I barfed doing the treadmill heart tests

Miami rent prices have sky rocketed 30-40% post pandemic to be the most expensive in the entire country. My money and time has run out

I’m still at the hospital 3-4days a week and part time employment. I know my life looks kinda fun on instagram when I’m riding bikes and wearing cool shirts, but the reality has become a prett harsh situation tbh

So here I am- begging for help on the internet.
I need $20k min to move to Las Vegas where the living costs are half of Miami and there are TWO hospitals that will get me back on the National list in the same position in que

My stepdad, the legend Don Denning gave me his old car so that I don’t die from the desert heat riding a motorcycle to treatments. It needs some repairs and to be shipped to Vegas ( or maybe the Manning boys will drive it to me)

This is my fastest and best track to kidney

I’ve found an apartment by the hospitals, have a car and some business ideas for Las Vegas

99 dollars round trip flights means I could actually come home for a weekend and have friends visit

It’s not over yet

You could even get a jumpstart my making a donation at Cashapp $savingbrando

If you’re broke cause 2024, think about sharing this around. I need the reach of influencers or anything else. Show your rich uncle or tell Elon Musk and Jon Bovi about my situation

Seriously thank you I know will work! Link in bio

Doing an extra day down at the kidney hospital maximize my performance

05/02/2024

So as most of you know I moved to miami for their kidney hospital and fast track program

So it’s a year after I assumed I’d be done with this, and now I’m literally OFF the list for six months because I failed some tests when I was hospitalized around the holidays…

So I’m at a crossroads now and my #1 priority is getting kidney and getting super jacked, tan and healthy.

Post pandemic the kidney lists were insane, but I guess cause a lot of people died there’s some other options that could get me a kidney possibly sooner, and this is something I need to decide before August when my lease is up.

#1 best option is Las Vegas cause I’d be at the top of the list and looks like things cost about as half a much as Miami… I like it here and will regret if I leave, but the price of apts has gone up 30% and I’m having a hard time on a part time paycheck

Has anyone ever lived in
Las Vegas? Would I hate it? Or could I live in the suburbs for a bit

I just want to live and am losing confidence in the medical system here. I just need a kidney.

Vegas is closer to my home base, I could have a car again be alive.

Where’s the good part of Vegas to live I wonder?

05/01/2024

So yesterday my kidney treatment seemed to zap my energy harder than usual.

So I left kinda dizzy and feeling like I took twenty b**g rips.

The hospital is right by my house but I stop off to get involved with a taco

So as I’m waiting, sitting at the counter bar I get dizzier than before, so I grab a fountain cola hoping it’ll sip me back to freedom….

Next thing you know I literally nod off and drop the coke all over like an idiot, and somehow didn’t fall off the tiny round barstool!

Then I remember that trump falls asleep too! And he’s doing the lords work! Keep us both in your prayers

Whenever I hear about someone being like 43,47, 48 years old or whatever, I immediately think of someone much older than myself…

Like I’ll see someone in that age zone it feels like the age of an aunt or uncle, or just generally old idiots

An ad for a dating app just popped up showing me a beautiful 44 year old woman. I immediately thought of her as being attractive for an older, then realized that I am ACTUALLY THE OLDER ONE! She would’ve been freshman when I was senior in hs.

Also finding out I’m older than stupid Ron Desantis was a game changer

My whole life I always felt like there were REAL ADULTS running at a higher level of intelligence and responsibility and would handle everything.the older I get, the more stupid that sounds.

I wonder what age peak intelligence and peak creativity intersect? I hope that I can fix my kidney so that I can ride that wave.

I’m over a year past when I thought I’d be fixed. It’s fu***ng over my prime years. Can’t wait to get back on the fast track
