I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for everything you mean to me in my story and in the process I am going through today.

Today, already in the recovery stage after my transplant, I look back and understand with much greater clarity how important it was to have had you close by. I not only found a highly professional team, but also an extraordinary human group. In a process that can naturally be complex and challenging, you managed to make each session feel much more bearable thanks to your warm, close, and always personalized care.

I take many experiences with me, but there are very specific moments that define who you are as a team. I perfectly remember the first time I got a severe cramp in my legs: the speed with which you reacted, the calm you transmitted, and the way you helped me made all the difference. And how could I forget that time when the pain was even more intense... and Vero, the nurse, without hesitation, practically climbed onto the bed like a wrestler to help me get through one of the strongest cramps I have ever had in my life. That kind of dedication, of going above and beyond what is expected, is not learned... it is innate.

I also clearly remember when my blood pressure dropped. I didn’t quite understand what was happening, but you did. Your reaction was immediate, coordinated, and absolutely professional; you acted with a confidence that not only resolved the moment, but also gave me enormous peace of mind. The fact that you explained things to me, attended to me calmly, and made quick decisions—like returning fluid at that moment—turned a distressing situation into an experience of total trust in you.

There were also very intense moments, like when the Father who was on hemodialysis went into cardiac arrest. Seeing so many people move with that intensity, coming and going, acting with urgency... was something that deeply impacted me and made me very nervous. However, once again, your reaction was impressive. Not only because of the way you handled the emergency, but because you also took the time to come over to me and calm me down. In the midst of everything, you explained what was happening, even reminding me of things you had taught me in our talks—like the emergency codes—and you managed to restore my calm. That balance between technical capability and human quality is something you don't see every day.

But it wasn't all difficult moments. There was also space to laugh, to talk, and to feel supported. I am enormously grateful that you celebrated my birthday with me and that you always found a way to make me feel like more than just a patient: a person cared for and welcomed.

Today I am in recovery, in a new stage that I could not understand without everything I lived through with you. I leave with gratitude, respect, and an enormous recognition toward each and every one of you. Thank you for your commitment, for your dedication, and for having made this path much lighter than I imagined.

Today I am stronger than I was, and in large part it is thanks to you. Because you cure with science, but you heal with humanity... and that is never forgotten.

With all my gratitude and affection.
