For those who haven't heard, long-time motorsports writer Tom Higgins recently suffered a stroke. What little I know is culled from tweeted updates from his friend and fellow writer Steve Waid.
Steve first tweeted Tom had his stroke on August 13. He didn't need surgery. He had some left side paralysis but it's believe it will be temporary with therapy.
Aug 16: Tom was moved from ICU to a room.
Aug 18: Tom was discharged to an inpatient rehab facility.
Aug 22: Tom now in full-blown therapy. Long road ahead. Alert but challenged.
Aug 25: Steve says each day is a little bit better yet improvement is minimal. Tom's son is helping him tend to personal matter which is a big help, but Tom is still apparently in rough shape. While he is seeing a handful of visitors, it's best if most don't try to see him at this point. He is often in pain and very tired following therapy.
