Donating in a couple of weeks

I am donating my kidney to my brother -in-law in a couple of weeks and have no issues with it even though I get asked all the time if I am nervous. I have done a lot of research and talk to one donor. This board has help with answers about when to expect to go back to work. Thanks to all who have helped with answers.

Donated to my son last summer. Full recovery. Recovery times seem to vary quite a lot. Listen to your body and what is right for you. And don't sneeze!

The more information you have, the more confident you will feel! I also got great information from this board and looked up whatever I could about the procedure. You're doing a wonderful thing! Best wishes for you!
