Been waiting for one of these! I’ve been really eager to be a living organ donor and am considering making steps towards it this year. Did you donate to a stranger or someone you know? How long did it take it take to happen from consulting your doctor to the procedure? Did you do anything to prepare/ are you generally very healthy and fit? Any advice for someone going into this procedure? Thanks :)

Doesn’t sound too bad. Thank you again! Feel encouraged to make steps towards this happening :) Mine would be an anonymous donation so my only apprehension now is that one day I might have a loved one who needs an organ. It’s an interesting ethical dilemma because I believe all life is equally as important. Someone else loves a stranger as much as I love my family, you know?

Awesome. Thanks so much for your insight! How long has it been since the procedure and how has the recovery been?

Yeah for sure, after doing some research you begin to realize the overall tone definitely protects the donors health and welfare. Which is how it should be!
