Yesterday afternoon, former Kentucky basketball head coach Billy Gillispie received a new kidney from stranger Ericka Downey.
Today, Gillispie is reportedly up and moving, even going on an afternoon walk with the gracious donor.

The former Kentucky coach had been experiencing major health issues over the last year or so, and was hospitalized in January for kidney failure due to chronic high blood pressure.
