**A first-person account of kidney disease, dialysis, transplant waiting, kidney transplantation, and early recovery, supplemented by plain-language context and authoritative public-health and transplant sources. It is a patient narrative, not a treatment manual or clinical guide.**
An unexpected insurance blood test raised a question Raymond Finn could no longer ignore. What followed was a years-long journey through chronic kidney disease, difficult treatment decisions, peritoneal dialysis, in-center hemodialysis, the transplant waiting list, two kidney-offer calls, surgery, and the first months of life with a transplanted kidney.
Re-Born: My Journey Through Kidney Disease and Transplant is Finn's first-person account of learning to read the numbers, ask better questions, challenge assumptions, adapt family routines, and remain an active voice in his own care. He writes candidly about fear, stubbornness, fatigue, faith, humor, changing relationships, and the family members and Prayer Warriors who carried him through the hardest days. He also reflects on the donor gift that made his Re-Born Day possible and the responsibility of learning to live with that gift.
Medical and transplant context is drawn from authoritative sources including NIDDK, CDC, HRSA/OPTN, and the National Kidney Foundation, but this book is not a diagnosis or treatment plan. It is one patient's story, written so that people living with kidney disease-and the families walking beside them-may feel less alone, better prepared to ask questions, and more confident in becoming informed partners with their own care teams.
