Living Donor: It's a huge responsibility

I am a living donor the transplant was March 15, 2016
I did not know the recipient at the time. She was a very sick woman and has since had a new lease on life. I feel incredibly grateful to be part of this miracle. My health is great my recovery was great, I was sore of course and it took time to heal but i would do it all over in a heartbeat.

@airsky21, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
I am a volunteer mentor, and recipient of a liver and kidney (2009) from an anonymous deceased donor. I will remember his generosity every day of my life, and I make taking care of myself my top priority as my way to honor him. I would not be alive with out the miracle of his gift of life. I only tell you that so that you will understand how sincere I am when I say, "Thank you and God Bless, you" for the miracle that you have participated in.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience.
If you are comfortable in doing so, would you tell us what led your decision to become a living kidney donor?

thank you for posting this! If I have the timing correct, at this time next week, they should be finishing up with my surgery. I'm glad to hear that both you and the recipient are doing well.
