I've had several comments from people that are going through the process of donating (either to someone they know, or in a non-directed way). How are you doing? Have you had your surgery yet? How are the tests going?
If you've had your surgery, how are you recovering? Was it what you expected it to be? How is the recipient (if known)?
Have you had any challenges or bumps along the road?
What has life been like for you? Including the reactions you have gotten from friends and family? Was it different post-op as compared to pre-op? I know it was for me!
I would love to hear how things are going with you.
It's been almost 7 months since my surgery, and life is great. It's very much back to the way it was before and some days I hardly think about it. All in all, life is great - and I have heard the recipient is still doing great.
Thanks again for reading and commenting - you guys are one of the reasons I started this blog to being with.
