Share how your transplant experience changed your life?

It has changed my life for the better. I had become miserable before the transplant especially during the 8 months I was undergoing dialysis. Everyday I wake up a happy person.

Share whatever information you want us to know about you

My wife was my donor. Apparently she was my childhood crush although we got together when I was 21 years old. We got married two years back and when we were about to celebrate our 1st anniversary, the CKD was detected. I am thankful to God for having a living angel as my wife.

Share your interests and hobbies

I am into music. I play the guitar and had a band during college days. These days I just love playing the bass guitar with my sister who is a pianist.
