46 year old female and I donated when I was 42.  I'm small and dropped to a 93 degree body temp in surgery...plus I can't take pain meds without getting nauseous so I spent an extra day in the hospital.  Once I got home, things went fairly well.  First two weeks were rough but I was traveling with work after 3 weeks, feeling about normal at 6 weeks and water skiing by 8 weeks.  My recovery was fairly good all around.

Tori,

I was 50 and donated to a 24 year old man, October 2010.  This August, my kidney was removed from him due to a massive infection, but not organ rejection.  My recipient is back on dialysis and awaiting another donor or cadaver kidney.  I pray for him daily.  Me, I bounced back great physically and am in the best shape of my life now.

famoran,

Congratulations on your 1 month + 1 day anniversary!  

I went back & read your first post.  DOUBLE-WWOOWW!!    107 lb. weight loss!!  And your happiness on being told you were a match with your husband, that "I was so happy I almost passed out!"  YES!  Many of us had a similar feeling -- my feeling was of ELATION!! -- when we/I were told that we/I, finally, after all the testing, were accepted as a donor.

I/we wish you & your hubby and family many long years of happiness.  

Bill
