Good for you! That's one of best "why I quit smoking" stories I've heard yet. When do you donate your kidney and how long was the recovery period?
Confidential on where and when. Sorry. I have to guess as to the recovery<br />
time as I am retired and required regular pain medications for years, so I<br />
don't have actual dates to refer to. To return to the career I had before<br />
my accident, I think about 2 months. That is a long estimate, as I needed<br />
to be very agile in that job. If it helps, I was fine being alone after<br />
returning home 3 days after surgery. Thanks for caring. HAND<br />
An organ Donor must be a non-smoker for at least one year. With such seriousness, it took me only 4 days to quit, and I haven't touched it since, saving buckets of money. Hehe<br />
