I'm donating what can be donated. I won't need it.
I've donated blood several times and it hurts a lot less than a shot

I wish I could give you a medical answer. When we first found out that my brother's liver was damaged, everyone started looking at me, and I read a lot of information on the process. I wish I had retained it. It's not from the liver itself, it's the surgical procedure, that much I can remember. The weird thing is, I've never heard that about other living donor operations, such as kidney or lung.
