Well, it's been 2 weeks since the donation took place. The area where the line was is still healing... I have a massive bruise in the groin/thigh area and a tiny little scabbed area where they inserted it. I rested up for a couple days then got busy and was on my feet a lot and I noticed some new bruising and swelling so I had to try to stay off my feet and ice the area for a day or two. It's looking much better now though. It's pretty much the coolest looking bruise ever and I wish I could show it off just for fun, but it's probably not socially acceptable to say to someone "hey, wanna see my cool bruise?" then whip off my pants to show them ;)
Anyway, I haven't heard any word from or about the recipient. I guess I am a little disappointed to have not heard anything yet but hopefully I will soon!
Lee will probably give me a call within the next couple of weeks and maybe have an update for me about her and how she is doing. Until then, I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving and aren't stressing out too much this Christmas season... keeping in mind the real meaning behind Christmas :)
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your story.
