In 2020 actor and comedian Sinbad suffered a serious ischemic stroke.

Although fans hoped for the star's speedy recovery, the path of recovery has been difficult.

Two years have passed and Sinbad is still dealing with the realities of his condition. His family recently posted an image of the 66 year old on Instagram showing him in the process of relearning to walk.

You can their see post below:

October of 2020 was a life changing month for Sinbad and his family.

The star of A Different World and Jingle All The Way suffered an ischemic stroke caused by a blood clot travelling from his heart to his brain. The clot required an emergency thrombectomy where doctors surgically removed it from a blood vessel in his brain.

The comedian suffered another clot in post op. His family recalled how after the first clot Sinbad was still able to talk and move, but the second clot "took a little more from him."

His brain began to swell forcing doctors to perform a craniotomy to relieve pressure. The doctors then found a cranial bleed leading to the decision to place him in a medically induced coma.

His family shared, it took weeks for Sinbad to regain basic motor function and he had to be weaned off of a ventilator while he remained confined to the ICU.

Since then, he has taken gradual steps towards recovery.

The comedian spent the last year in physical therapy at the California Rehabilitation Institute where he is relearning many of the skills people take for granted like walking.

Sinbad was given only a 30 percent chance of survival with doctors predicting he would lose all function of his limbs.

But the star is committed to making progress.

Sinbad said:

"I am not done. I will not stop fighting until I can walk the stage again."

The actor's family has set up the Adkins Trust for any donations to help cover the cost of his medical bills.

Lindsey Graham's Sister Hit With Hilariously Brutal Factcheck After Claiming She's 'Not Being Handed' His Senate Seat

Darline Graham, the sister of late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, was swiftly fact-checked after claiming that she's "not being handed" her brother's seat even though she quite literally was named to temporarily fill it.

Senator Graham died on the evening of July 11 after returning from an official visit to Ukraine. According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
