I am so happy for you and your cousin. You are truly an Angel for doing such a selfless act. I just donated my kidney last Thursday, June 9th, to my best friends father. It has been an amazing journey and with it being only 6 days out, if I could do this all over again, I would. So that should give you some inspiration. It has far exceeded anything that I have ever been through and I have to give God the Glory for giving me peace from the moment that I knew I wanted to donate. I have never had one ounce of regret or should I or could I, it has been YES all the way. As of today, my recipient, Chuck is doing great. His Creatine levels are 1.2 and he feels like a new man already. There is no greater love!
Just know that everyone on this website will be here for you and encourage you along the way. I too, loved reading the posts and stories of other donors. We all need each other..
Can't wait to hear your after donation stories from you and Jewels... God bless and know you are in my prayers.... Twinkie/Lisa ;-)
