@lwilkey, I hope that you are feeling relief from the back pain. If you don't mind me asking, Was it related to the surgery?

Will you have further follow-up appointments with the surgeon? What kind of monitoring will you need after the kidney donation? Do you still have follow-up monitoring after the living liver donation?

I also want to invite you to share your story when you are comfortable doing it.
