17 Years as of May 14.
17 years since I donated one of my kidneys to my Sister at age 60. I am still in a bit of wonderment as I pee at a rather prodigious rate these days which would indicate that my remaining kidney is working just fine.
Every year at this time I reread the narrative I posted on this blog 17 years ago. It was a major life event and I don't ever want to forget what all it entailed. If you'd like to vicariously experience the living donor process, here is the first post of the series.
To this day, I don't regret my decision. And knowing all I know now, I would do it again.

happy organ donation day!! It is amazing on so many levels. That you were a match. That we live in times that we have the technology to perform this type of surgery. That you had the families ties (however weak) that you'd offer to do so
I was and am glad that you shared your experience with us through the blog, and that you were able to do that for your sister.
