Title: Surgery on Friday 2/24
Post by: cupid on February 22, 2012, 01:37:19 PM: Two more days and I will be donating my left kidney to a friend from high school. I am so nervous-not for the surgery for myself but for my friend! I know its out of my hands at this point. Please send us positive thoughts! Thank you

While you're waiting, try to practice getting on/off your bed without using your stomach muscles.
Keep us posted!

Post by: Scott337 on March 24, 2012, 09:11:04 PM: Well done! I'm glad you're both doing well. It's always so heartening to see how so many recipients begin to feel so much better almost immediately after the transplant. Regards and best wishes!
