Hi all, I am almost 2 years post donation. My kidney went to my husband of 46 years. We are actually both doing very well. I can do all the activities that i used to do and I try and eat quite healthy. My husband has not had as much activity, and I worry a little bit about him gaining weight. I have gained about 15 pounds as well. But, we live in Minnesota and winters can be hard on you! I am an Ambassador for LifeSource and enjoy talking to high school groups about “checking the box” to be a donor on their driver’s license when they apply. I wish you all well!

@triciaodonnell, it is hard to keep moving when the snow won't stop coming. @contentandwell has been sharing some great, simple indoor exercise videos along with others in the virtual walking group discussion. Check them out here:

JK, I really like the last 2 videos. The 15 minute indoor walking one and the 5 minute balance video.
