Selena Gomez’s BFF, Francia Raisa reportedly went through a tough recovery process after she donated a kidney to Selena Gomez.
“It’s harder as the donor because we are losing something our body didn’t need to lose,” Raisa, 29, said during an upcoming appearance on Harry Connick Jr.’s daytime talk show Harry.
The Grown-ish actress added that watching her friend get “up and at it immediately” while she still had to go through months of recovery first was difficult.
“I’m a very, very active person,” she said, explaining that it was hard when “my doctor said I couldn’t move for two months.” “I couldn’t do anything active. All I could do was walk. That was very hard for me, and I have a dog,” she continued. “Every day the thing I look forward to is drinking my coffee, and walking, and I couldn’t do that. It was really, really hard.
”Gomez shocked fans in September of last year when she announced that, due to lupus complications, she’d received a kidney transplant from her best friend Raisa over the summer.
