As I was staring at turning 60, and felt physically broken, depressed; nothing seemed to work, and I just couldn’t make any kind of progress. I’mnot a religious person, but I said God, if I am going to be around for a while, it has to be in a different body…so show me the way. In no time afriend shared her experience with Renew . It was something I had never seriously considered, but I couldn’t get it out of my head. I went online,filled out the information to see if I would even be a good candidate. Almost instantly my patient advocate Roni reached out. I knew my schedulehad a short window to make this happen before my birthday, and so again I trusted. If this is meant to me, then please God make it easy—andboy was it! The guidance and support I received before, during, and after the surgery were second to none. I am so grateful for getting my lifeback. I have energy and want to soak up every drop I have left—it feels great to be alive!
