The Outcome
Barry didn’t see Samantha until the next day when he forced himself to hobble over to her bed. While she looked a little worse for wear, her blood tests were good. He couldn’t help but be glad that his efforts weren’t for nothing. He wanted to see that she was okay.

The Outcome
Long Recovery
Barry said that the recovery took a little longer than he thought it would. It felt like a herd of buffalo had trampled his insides. In order to remove a kidney, your stomach is blown up with gas to allow the surgeons to maneuver their instruments more easily. However, this stretches your skin and muscles and leaves you rather uncomfortable for a couple of weeks afterward. It took about four months for him to feel normal again, even though he went back to work part-time after eight weeks. He forced himself to walk every day, so it wasn’t long before he went back to salsa.
