To those who have donated a kidney: What was the experience like? Specifically the recovery process?

I am in the process of seeing if I'm a match for my cousin, I will get tested in about a week. The transplant team has given me a binder with tons of information, but I'm curious to hear from real life people. I am 100% going go through with it if I'm a match, but I'm just trying to be as mentally/physically prepared as possible so anything you can tell me about your experience would be appreciated :) via /r/transplant http://ift.tt/2s44DfW
