Scots woman has life saved after friend's husband donates his kidney for transplant
Lois Denham, from Paisley, was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease when she was just eight. The hereditary disorder causes cysts to develop on the kidneys reducing their function.
The pair underwent the lifesaving transplant surgery on January 17 at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, and both are now recovering well at home. Lois said: "Josh saved my life and I can't put into words what it is he's done for me. "Craig told him he really needed to go away and think about it seriously. A few days later he was back on the phone saying he just wanted to do something.
Josh, from Clydebank, said: "I couldn't shake the desire to see if I would be a match and as it turned out, I was. As a Christian, I totally believe that we look for 'miracles' or the supernatural but there is nothing more miraculous than love.

The toxins in my blood were over 1,000 and a normal level is below 120 I now am about 70-80 which is remarkable.
