We have an encouraging update on Jerry Lawler‘s health after The King suffered a life-threatening medical episode on Monday.
Lawler suffered a “massive” stroke outside his home in Fort Myers, Florida. He’s since undergone surgery, and people who have spoken to him have been giving similar accounts of his condition: he’s weak, his speech is affected, but the prognosis is generally positive.
On Wednesday, Lawler’s official Twitter account (@JerryLawler) checked in with some great news: he’s expected to make a full recovery.

Jerry Lawler has a long road ahead until he’s back to 100%, but this is excellent news.
His friend and longtime meteorologist Dave Brown had a video call with the King on Tuesday and provided this account to Commercial Appeal:
“Some of the initial reports were just horrible, so I feel much better than I did 18 hours ago when I felt like I got hit in the face with a shovel. I was incredibly encouraged after I did a FaceTime. Jerry was alert. He talked to me. He could only say a couple words at a time, which is pretty normal. But (he) was able to move both legs and both arms.”
