How wonderful! Hope your recovery is short. What a way to start the New Year.
It's a blessing that so many can benefit from a paired donation. My daughter and I are in the first stage of the program.

Wow so quick!! That's fantastic. A real reminder that live donations often go better and smoother than cadaveric (not that I am complaining AT ALL about mine!). Wonderful news.

Re your husband finding it harder - I've often heard that recovery for the live donor is harder than for the recipient. You can sort of understand why - they're actually being a bit more invasive with the donor to get the kidney out of it's fairly well protected area in the back and putting it into a much easier access spot in the front. Hopefully he will be right soon enough though!

SO wonderful than a chain of 10 has gone so well - that's 20+ people's lives changed forever - for the better!!!!

How exciting for everyone involved.  I have been on the TX list and the paired exchange for 2 yrs now so it is really good news for me to hear about this and how well everyone is doing.  Stay well.
