Thanks for doing this AMA Travis. I've actually just started the process to give my dad a kidney. So far we've confirmed my blood type matches and gone through one 24 hour urine collection. Next step will be two days of misc. testing this Tuesday and Wednesday. What were the two months leading up to the surgery like? Did you do anything that accelerated the timeline?

Thanks again for doing this as you're the first person I've spoken to that's donated. How long did you spend in the hospital after surgery? How long after that before you were able to get back to work? Any insight/advice for the post surgery period is appreciated.
