Donation went really well. Slept most of the day and am very peaceful. Hard to type with an IV.
Pain is not awful, mostly muscular. JH has heat packs to put on your body. Going to try walking soon.

Welcome to the club! You did it! So happy that everything worked out. Now just be good to yourself and enjoy Marburg. Would you like a visitor this afternoon?

YEAH! So glad things went well and you're doing good. Marburg is nice, isn't it?! Enjoy the menu, the service, etc. You'll have to let me know if you have Christie or Dan for your nurse. I think Christie is off duty right now but she was my main day nurse. Dan was my night nurse. They took good care of me and helped me to have a nice stay. If you see them, tell them Jocelyn says hi! ;D
If you're already feeling pretty good, when you get up and get walking you'll feel great. At first it is painful and slow going, but it gets better. And you get to see a nice view of the "old" hospital building that is so beautiful from the doors at the end of the hall.
P.S. The Italian Ice was great! I kept ordering the mango one!

Congratulations to you and your recipient!
Best of luck in the healing process. Please keep an eye on your WHOLE self as you move along in your recovery and let your docs or coordinators know if you notice anything strange.
I hate to sound like a broken record here, but my biggest (only) challenge post-donation was a hormonal shift that put me in a depressive funk within a few weeks. I've had to take meds ever since, but I wouldn't undo the donation for that reason. My point, sometimes things happen, so be aware and take good care of yourself.
And congratulations, again. Prepare to do a lot of sleeping over the next few weeks. (That was THE BEST. The only time in my life I've ever been able to nap during the day. Exquisite!)
