After recovering from surgery following a decade of undiagnosed kidney failure, I can finally start doing the things I love again.
Deadlifting was one of them, so I set myself the goal to lift 100kg again. And I did. Not a huge achievement in the grand scheme of things, but the beginning of a new chapter and something worth celebrating 🌈
Omar Sans Kidney update.
Surgery was a success and the bugger is gone.
Keeping me in until tomorrow cuz I'm sick as a dog from all the drugs
Thanks to everyone who sent messages ans good vibes 🌈

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - "It’s the young cast who are the stars of this show – all twelve producing extraordinary performances, working impeccably as an ensemble as the focus shifts from one to another, and dealing with the play’s difficult themes with maturity and commitment."
Couldn't have said it better myself. The best part of being a director is working with a team of talented, hardworking and dedicated individuals who all support your vision.
We showed 'em how it's done on this one!
