Hi, I donated 5 years ago - laparoscopic nephrectomy.
I was with my 4 year old nephew recently. He's never at a loss for endless questions. Somehow he asked if I'd ever been in a hospital. I told him about giving my father a part of my body that my father needed more than I did (a kidney).
Nephew - how did they get your kitney outta there?
Me - I gave him a simple explanation, his eyes got wide.......
Nephew - was there blood?
Me - a little
Nephew - can I see the scars?
Me - sure
No luck finding the 3 laparoscopic scars, or even the lower incision - we were both totally disappointed.
Newphew - well.........I guess your'e all better now
Me - yes, I'm all better.
