Richard Leakey
Paleoanthropologist and Environmentalist
My kidney disease in '69, it wasn't pleasant. I had a transplant much later. I got 11 years out of my kidney failure. Then I had a transplant. I got 26 years out of that, and I had another transplant last year, and I am fine. I'm getting expert now at kidney disease. It's a tough disease, and many people don't survive it, but I am one of the lucky ones, and it's worked. Even the latest transplant, which -- my wife very kindly gave me a kidney. She's not a blood relative, but the drugs today are very good, and if you've got a good attitude, I think you're fine.
