Welcome and congratulations to both you and your Husband! I donated to my Husband October 2009. (almost 2 years ago already - where did the time go??) I also feel that other than having my 2 kids, this is the best and most rewarding thing I have done in my life, and without question would do it all over again. I have no regrets what so ever. I am determined that I will have my husband around to grow old with me.
I too had some people ask me questions like "what if one of your kids need a kidney someday?" I explained it like this. Imagine I am in a boat with my Husband and kids, and we only have one life preserver. My husband falls overboard, am I going to stand there and think "Hmmmm. I don't know if I should give him the life preserver because one of my kids MIGHT fall overboard." The people asking these questions seemed to kind of get it when I explained it to them that way. (For the record, neither of my kids have kidney problems.) Don't get me wrong, this is something that one needs to think about and take in to consideration, but for me, it was a no brainer.
I am so happy to hear how well you and your Husband are doing so well. Your pain should continue to get better each day, and before you know it, you will be back to your normal self. Please continue to let us know how you and your Husband are doing - this board is such a great place for support and information.
Linda
