Reading everyone's responses has been so helpful ! It's comforting to know that pain and numbness is normal, I donated my right kidney to my mother on January 27th, I was in the hospital for 2 days and had minimal pain after week 1, I have a 3 year old daughter and haven't attempted to pick her up but by week 2 I was already having to take her to school and get her ready for bed etc... I feel I may have over done myself because I'm getting aches in my abdomen and where my kidney was removed... also have numbness, a bulge,(which I'm praying isn't a hernia) and get winded easily...... have my check up next week, praying all is well
