On February 11, 2003, my loving and caring wife donated her incompatible kidney to me. That’s right- a totally incompatible kidney (both blood type and tissue type). Dr. Lloyd Ratner at Jefferson Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, performed the operation.  

 I launched this website on my first year anniversary for two reasons:  First- to inform those who suffer from kidney disease that a viable, medically proven alternative to a compatible organ transplant is available.  And second, to recall my experiences in the hope that it will help others through the process.
