Thank you. I'm a living kidney donor so I understand what that recovery was like. I had to use FEMLA during my recovery and had to return to work after two weeks. It made my recovery incredibly slow even though I didn't have a physically demanding job.
Being black and donating twice is fantastic. I've been in the bone marrow registry for twenty years, but never received a call to donate. They typically need black donors because the black community is so suspicious of the medical community in this country they don't donate as often as white people.
Have you signed up with the bone marrow registry? What did your family think of your donations?
