Feb 20 2018 I donated kidney to my father... not gonna lie, I was completely freaked out. It was my idea to do this, 13 test and 4 months later it finally happened

I’m 9 weeks post op today and I would do it again in a hot second!

Take care of yourself after surgery, drink lots of water and listen to your body...you got this

Congrats! I donated to my Dad Feb 12, 2007 and would do it all over again if I had another spare!! Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be as healthy as ever, if not healthier!!

That is awesome. What an empathetic caring and selfless act that was. I wish I could donate to my fiancé but I had a spleen removal as a child so I am medically unable to. You literally saved your father's life. I'm sure he treasures this gift beyond words.
