Mostly typical minor side effects from the drug injections that can get progressively worse as I keep getting them... headaches, bone aches, fatigue, nausea, etc. Although a specific one is possible enlargement of the spleen, so they recommend avoiding heavy lifting and contact sports for a week or two after donating.
They do cover me up to $250K for any procedure-related injuries/illness, and also a $1M payout to a beneficiary if I die. My wife was thrilled to hear that.
On the brighter side, they pay for transportation, food, and lodging to spend a week in Germany. On days 1-4, after getting the injections first thing in the morning, I'm pretty much free to do some sightseeing as long as the meds don't stop me. They'll pay for a companion to come out with me, but I'm thinking about just going solo.
