George Lopez Gets a New Kidney
George Lopez Gets a New Kidney
When the comedian needed a new kidney, his wife, Ann, donated one of her own.
In February, at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, his hands startedto shake when he was on the ninth hole. He missed his putt-twice.
"It was the first time I'd played golf in front of other people when Ihad the medicine in me, so maybe the shakes were also from nerves. I toldmyself, 'You can't hide it. This is heavy. You've got some strong medicinegoing through you.'"
Then the tremors cleared. His game improved. His humor returned and loosenedhim up. Asked whether anyone had noticed his hands shaking as he struggled ---and failed --- to control his putt, he laughed and then did what he does best:He made a joke.
"I think people just thought I sucked like all the othercelebrities."
