Marking the 5th anniversary today of my life-saving kidney transplant





I'm feeling incredibly grateful today to have been part of a nine-way kidney transplant five years ago at Yale New Haven Hospital. 
I can't say enough good things about the doctors, nurses, and all who helped me through the entire process.
And I'm forever grateful to my altruistic donor, Robin Gilmartin. She is seated at my right in the photo. 
To my left is Ralph's wonderful sister, Sue Watson, for whom I'm also forever grateful. She got the ball rolling, so to speak, by coming forward to be a donor for me. It turned out her kidney was a better match for the man to her left, Bill Greenwood.
