Scot praises 'best gift he's ever had' after mum donates kidney shortly before tragic death

A Scot who was diagnosed with kidney failure has praised the 'best gift he's ever had' after receiving a transplant from his mum shortly before she tragically died, saying that it has 'transformed his life'.

Neil Scully, from the Liberton area of Edinburgh, began experiencing symptoms such as fatigue and loss of appetite at the start of 2018 but attributed it to the long-standing arthritis he has dealt with his whole adult life.

But in reality, the 43-year-old was in the midst of developing chronic kidney failure that ultimately led to months of painstaking and draining dialysis that altered the way he went about his daily life, reports EdinburghLive.
