Welcome to my new blog, which chronicles my experience as altruistic kidney donor. It's not the best written (especially after the donation, as I was pretty out of it most of the time!), but it gives a semi-clear explanation of what a kidney donor goes through as far as testing, preparation, and surgery, first hand. The entries aren't labeled with the correct dates. I tried to keep track of them but everything is taken from stuff I wrote on other forums throughout the process. Hopefully it all makes sense.
Let me start with a little about myself. My name is Lauren. I'm 28 years old and I live in New Jersey. I officially started the process of kidney donation on July 17th, 2013, my 28th birthday and had surgery to remove my kidney on January 30th, 2014.
