Kidney Donation Complete

Yesterday I had the pleasure to donate my kidney to a stranger. The surgery went well. I am awaiting news on how my recipient is doing. The process was almost to easy. Have a little discomfort but overall it’s totally worth it to make someone’s life better. Thanks for all the kind words and support. During my recovery I want to focus on getting the word out to hopefully encourage others to at least look into being a living donor.

Well done you are absolutely amazing and a very selfless act. I'm.glad the surgery went well and you are doing well. Make sure you rest up and take it easy no to over do it.

All the best and hope you heal quickly. I am waiting for a kidney myself and for the person or family I would never be able to express my thanks in words. You truly have changed your recipients life more than you will ever know.

Take care of yourself and keep us posted

You are a VERY special person! You have given someone the most treasured gift—LIFE! I donated to my husband earlier this year and I see the wonders of this gift. I hope that you too eventually meet your recipient to learn more about the life you have given. It’s a wonderful life! Be well and don’t hesitate to forward any questions as you recover. You are truly an ANGEL!

Congratulations and welcome to the Living Donor Club! Take time to heal and take care of yourself. Even though you feel good it takes time for your body to heal. You truly saved a life!

Well done! Becoming an altruistic donor has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Hopefully it will be the same for you.

Welcome to the exclusive living donor club. Thank you for your gift. I donated in 2015 and would do it again if I could. We all are working to spread the word about living donation to make this club inclusive and save more lives.
