Sinbad Recovers From His Ischemic Stroke: “I Will Not Stop Fighting Until I Walk Across The Stage”

Sinbad

Staying in shape and being in good health are two of the most things to living a long life. Additionally, it helps to have a positive attitude, especially when faced with a challenging circumstance. For famous comedian Sinbad, looking toward the future and a strong willpower was the key to overcoming his health crisis. Back in October 2020, Sinbad suffered from an Ischemic Stroke.

Unfortunately, research argues that “Black people are 50% more likely than whites to suffer from a stroke.” Even worse, Black men are at even a higher risk of dying from a stroke. 

Furthermore, the comedian went through loads of trials and tribulations to heal himself. These days, he’s returning his body to some form of normalcy.

Recently, Sinbad took to social media to show an update on his progress. The post became a moment of inspiration after the comedian proudly told his fans that he was not giving up. Clearly, the comedian is a fighter at heart.

A few years back, Sinbad suffered from a health problem that nearly ended his life. The comedian and actor had an Ischemic Stroke. The health condition was brought by blood clots that traveled between his heart and brain.

Several weeks went by before the 66-year-old regained consciousness and became responsive. His condition led doctors to assume that he was stable. More importantly, the comedian was ready for the healing process to begin. 

Immediately, he started extensive therapy to help regain back his mobility and teach himself how to walk again. The star worked hard to gain back the strength in his body.
