Any double donors out there: liver and kidney?

You are a rock star!
I've heard that liver donation is much harder on the donor than kidney donation is. How did liver donation go for you? My kidney donation wasn't fun but it was, surprisingly, not bad in terms of pain, recovery or any lasting effects. I'm pretty sure I've even joked that the evaluation appointments were more difficult than the surgery. I hope you breeze through it!

Oh, gosh! Thanks! To answer your question, I have often joked that the whole experience was like Serv-Pro: like it never even happened. I bounced back VERY quickly from my liver donation surgery, thank God, and was even running again within 2-3 weeks of surgery. It was lovely to be off work and at home, recovering, feeling good, and enjoying the Spring weather! When I donate my kidney on March 25th (just found out this morning that the surgery date got pushed back by one day), I am looking forward to being off again for six weeks, coming back to work sometime in May, and then retiring on June 30! God is good- ALL the time! <3
