Medical Update on Shamis

Post by pigsteak »

MAny of you know Shamis on here (Gary Barnett).

What you may not have known is today he donated a kidney to his mother. She lives in Pennsylvania.

He was heavily sedated when I talked to him, but said he was doing well.

He also said that his mother's body initially accepted the kidney.

Great news all around.

Since I know he will be rehabbing for several weeks, just wanted to wish him get well greetings on his third favorite forum.
Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.

Namaste, Shamis.

Namaste!
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Very cool.
Speedy recovery to the both of you!
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.

Let that body heal, Gary! It'll be strong and healthy in no time!

Wishing your mother a healthy recovery as well and may her body continue to accept its new life gift.

That is very admirable, Gary's mom must be proud of her job raising him.
Awesome!
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own.
You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president.
You realize that you control your own destiny.
