I donated a kidney to my husband on May 27, 2014. I feel that this is one of the best things that I have done in my entire life. He suddenly became ill in September 2013 and after extensive testing found out that he had been born with a genetic defect – one kidney was the size of a quarter and had never worked, and the other kidney was seriously malformed. Prior to this neither one of us had ever had surgery or a major illness, so you can imagine the shock when he discovered the state of his kidneys!!!
Now that he has my kidney, he is good as new! Kidney donation is not as scary as it sounds and I have no ill effects as a result of my donation. It is amazing to be able to give the “gift of life” to someone!!!
