Kidney transplant - The Journey from the Donor's Side

Has anybody done any research of donor thoughts by donors such as donor blogs, printed testimony or any other donor thought venue? Though I clearly have my own thoughts & feel there is a priceless value in sharing I am quit curious about other people's thoughts, feelings & emotions. It would be statistically informative to know what the most common, least common & in between the 2 extremes thoughts are. Please do share sources of thoughts along with the thoughts. My basic thoughts are I made an educated/ emotional decision to donate a kidney knowing every decision has a learning curve. But hey I will follow it through to the very end with smiles & tears, laughter & fears.

@onecentwalsh Research is such a great tool that I'm convinced we are able to learn as much as our hearts desire on whatever subject catches our fancy. As a newby to christianity recently babtized Im learning about the power of faith - oh my is it powerful. Thank you for sharing.

@beckyjohnson in the months leading up to my surgery, I watched every YouTube video and read every blog and website that had to do with kidney donors, kidney disease, transplants, etc.... there's some good stuff out there. As with anything, you'll have to sift through what has value to you and what does not.
I was very prepared mentally and physically because I did a lot of research ahead of time. By the time I got to the three day testing, I hardly had questions because I had learned so much.
Im also a strong woman of faith, really did not have any anxiety or worry because I trusted this was the journey that God had intended for me.
Good luck!
