Jaimoe Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Let's hope Gregg doesn't use up this new liver in the same way he did with his old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I can't wait until we start hearing Gregg Allman liver donor raps at Allmans show ala Phil Lesh. In all seriousness I pray Gregg recovers fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'm glad Gregg Allman was able to get a liver transplant and I hope he will be health for years to come with his new liver.Alas, I'm disappointed I won't be able to see the Allman Brothers Band this weekend when I am at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago.Oh well, maybe Clapton and the Allman Brothers will perform together at bonnaroo next year.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Gregg Out Of The HospitalGregory was released from the hospital Friday (7/2) and is now staying nearby with friends for follow-up care. “I got up early and watched the sunrise on the beach this morning, which was amazing†he says. “I’m feeling pretty good and moving around well and we’re going to start talking soon about getting back out on the road, later this year.†Gregg continues to thank all of the hospital staff and fans for their continued support and well wishes--and will keep the updates coming.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im going home Donny Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Wow...glad he could do that. Hopefully it keeps him around a good chunk later. Hep C and the treatments are pretty brutal on ones expected life span.Here's hoping a Hep C vaccine is successfully developed!
