Wow you would never think a former NBA star and collegiate athlete would have health problems.
I’m sorry to hear about about his stroke. My pops had a stroke a couple of years back. Though he still suffers from the effects of it,he’s doing a lot better and is just regaining some feeling in both legs. His memory is good for a man of his early 70’s.
When it comes to HBP, you cannot afford to go without your meds or / and not take care of yourself. My pops had a stroke for similar reasons that Kenny did.
I hope that he get better…and to take his meds as prescribed and to take care of himself. Strokes aren’t jokes.
Sorry to hear this abut Kenny. He is a stellar athlete and person. I wish him well.
