My name is Paul. I have been waiting for 3 years for this. God bless all the doctors and nurses for my new kidney and God bless the recovery area and staff. I am a Deacon at a church in Ashtabula, OH. This is a dream come true. I am 65 years old and still look for more years ahead. May God Be With You All Always.

To all in the Transplant Center: I would like to take the time to tell all the doctors and nurses for all the help you have given me, for my new kidney, without their help I would not be here today. My son gave me his left kidney in January 2006. Today I am doing very well. I wish to thank the Cleveland Clinic for all their help. I feel better now than I have for many years and for many years to come.

Thank you,

Paul
