I just wanted to post an update to all the drama I recently posted. :-)
I did speak with my rep at Be The Match and explained to her the situation. I think I was most afraid of being in trouble for "breaking the rules" even though it was completely unintentional. I explained the situation, told her I broke contact with the family, and asked her whether I would be notified if I was in any health danger. She told me she needed to talk to a few people and get right back to me.
Be The Match cannot confirm or deny whether LGII is LG (obviously) but they have decided that to ease my concern for my health, they will schedule a staph evaluation for me. The medical team indicated that in all likelihood, if I have not become sick by now, I will not become sick, but they want to make sure I am at peace in light of the situation. I am awaiting this date/time.
I am doing so much better today that I was on Tuesday. I am the type of person that works through my feelings and concerns by talking to those around me and I was so blessed to have people to walk me through my grief, concern and anxiety and give me great advice. I have placed LG/LGII's health back in God's hands and I have faith that His will for her will be done.
It has been 1 week since my donation and I'm feeling about 90%. Still have some tenderness in my lower back and become winded when I exert too much energy, but other than that, I'm feeling well. The bruising on my hand is still the worst of the outward signs of surgery. I have no visual bruising on my back save the slight circles and scabs at the incision sites. They look like 2 bug bites. Much better than the doctors predicted. Totally worth the possibility of a cure and I would absolutely do it again!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
