Sinbad is continuing therapy and 'fighting for every inch' after having an ischemic stroke in October 2020. Sinbad, 66, left the hospital in July 2021, nearly nine months after the stroke.
Monday, Sinbad, born David Adkins, is continuing therapy and"fighting for every inch" after having an ischemic stroke as a result of a blood clot that traveled from his heart to his brain in October 2020."Survival odds from this type of event are approximately 30%," states the website, which describes Sinbad's progress as"nothing short of remarkable."
Following his stroke, Sinbad underwent a thrombectomy to remove the clot and restore normal blood flow to his brain. The next day, however, he had a second blood clot, about half the size of the first, and had to undergo the same surgery. "Our hearts were devastated. The road to recovery became unclear and extremely difficult for the family to navigate," the website states."It would be weeks before he would open his eyes, speak, or show signs of basic mobility. It wasn’t long before we realized he couldn’t move his left side or simply hold his head up. The more time passed the more the family learned how much had been lost.
Though he has"already beaten the odds and has made significant progress beyond what anyone expected," the comedian still has"miles to go.""The costs of therapy far exceed what insurance covers and it has taken its toll on the family financially," the website states."Many of you have asked what you can do to support us. We created this site as an avenue for those who would like to lend their support and contribute in some way.
