Are the donor's activites restricted?
After major surgery, it is common to tire easily
for a few weeks. Family members and friends should be asked
to help with household chores, meals, errands, or child
care. The donor may return to general activity as tolerated.
However, for at least 6 weeks after surgery, the donor must
not participate in any muscular activity and must not lift
more than 10 pounds.
The donor should be able to drive by 3 weeks after surgery.
However, he or she should not drive while taking any kind
of prescription pain medication. There are no restrictions
on resuming sexual activity.
