Freda Morris nursed her husband to health after he was shot

Garrett Morris’s wife Freda Morris has been very instrumental in the actor’s life. Morris’s revitalized career—as well as his life—almost ended on February 24, 1994. He was shot by two individuals as he left a friend’s store in South Central Los Angeles during an unsuccessful robbery attempt. He was shot in the arm, the belly, and the area just below the spine.

“I got shot in my intestine and it messed me up. I had to have a colostomy bag for about 8 months and had to endure literally 10 major operations over the next few months because when I got to the hospital, I was in a coma” He told People Weekly, “[I thought] ‘I’m going to die.’ I was only mad because someone else had chosen the time.”

Morris stunned his physicians with an incredible recovery despite the wound being severe and the fact that he would need to be in the hospital for more than a month. A week after the incident, he was walking with a walker. Even from his sick bed, he captured footage for a Martin episode.

“During that time, I think it was my fourth major operation, that the person who was producing the Martin show, that I got the news that I was being let go. I received the script and it said that ‘Stan sells the radio station’ and I asked, ‘does that mean that I’m gone?’ and of course the answer was yes.”- He revealed, per Blackdoctor.

According to Encyclopedia, in order to rebuild his strength, Morris followed a strict workout program with the assistance of his wife, Freda, and with the aid of humor, he has been able to rediscover his earlier passion—using his craft to benefit others. He performed a stand-up comedy act for the Los Angeles-based organization Kids Against Guns just four months after the shooting.

“One thing the shooting has taught me is that humor is what it’s really all about,” Morris told People Weekly, “From the second night on, Freda and I were laughing about this thing. It’s like something else inside me was causing me to see the bright side in everything.”
