Gina donated a kidney about 10 years ago, It's tougher on the donor, well it was back then before the micro surgery stuff was introduced. She's got a 10 inch scar on her side.
We used the bike to get into shape for the surgery. Did a century the weekend before the donation. Recovery went well. 1 month later she did a one mile ride, 2 months later 40 miles. Just did a century about 3 weeks ago.
