What began as a routine eye appointment led Glennis on a life-saving journey across states.
While undergoing complex eye surgery, clinicians discovered that Glennis’ pacemaker needed urgent replacing.
She was transferred to St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital, where a team of cardiac specialists stepped in.
Under the care of a highly skilled surgeon and cardiology team, Glennis received her new pacemaker and was compassionately cared for until she was ready to go home.
Having grown up on a farm near Uralla, New South Wales, and later spending 33 years on a sheep and cattle farm with her husband, Glennis has always faced life’s challenges with quiet determination.
“It is what it is, and you just keep going," she says with characteristic warmth.
Today, Glennis enjoys life in a beautiful seaside town where everything she loves is within a short stroll.
She tends to her beloved garden, enjoys films, and takes walks, with the confidence that specialists are remotely monitoring her heart rhythm.
