With this blog, I plan to chronicle my kidney donation, from when I first decided to do it, to the testing routine, through surgery, and finally the recovery process. I hope that through my first-hand experience, I can convince more people to be live kidney donors.

6 days later, and I am feeling fine...
This will be a very boring post. I feel fine. Very little pain. I'm tired though...
Very inspiring thing to do.... I just read your story in the WSJ....(I'm like a week late in reading the paper! but I'm very glad I read your story....)
Jan, thank you so much. Unlike some other "posters" like Tommy, it means a lot to me that you took the time to read and post. I feel great about what I did, and my recovery is going faster than I would have expected...
My name is Anthony DeGiulio. I'm 37 and live in upstate New York with my weimaraner, Frankie. One of my dreams is to save someone's life. Since I don't think I will ever pull anyone from a burning building or perform CPR on a stranger, I figured donating a kidney might be the closest I would come. This is the story of my experience.

Best of luck in the recovery process!
