Former Canadian hockey player and hall of famer, Gordie Howe, accomplished a lot during his career. However, lately Howe has been experiencing some serious health issues. His family recently admitted that he was rushed to the hospital after what was expected to be another stroke. On the bright side, it looks like his mental sharpness has improved.
Howe played 26 seasons in the NHL, and 23 were spent with the Detroit Red Wings. He received the nickname "Mr. Hockey" and is still considered one of the greatest players of all time.
Those achievements, however, were long ago. Now, Howe is getting along in years, and recurring health issues give fans a reason to worry.
TMZ Sports informed readers of Howe's return to the hospital, and what looks like another serious stroke:
"NHL legend Gordie Howe has suffered a major stroke...and is currently being treated in the intensive care unit at a hospital in Lubbock, TX...this according to his son. The 86-year-old Hall of Famer has been experiencing ministrokes for the past several months...and had been recovering from a more serious stroke he suffered on October 26th. Howe had regained movement in his right side and seemed to be doing better when this latest stroke occurred."
More recent reports, on the other hand, suggest that things might not be as bad as originally thought. ESPN updated the public on the new diagnosis:
"Howe's family said he was having difficulty eating solid foods and has been unable to walk for more than three weeks, but his mental awareness was improving enough that they were expecting him to be able to leave the hospital. On Monday, Howe showed diminished consciousness to caregivers and physical therapy personnel and was taken to a hospital, but an MRI on Tuesday revealed he did not have another severe stroke."
Things are looking up for long time Red Wing fans, but more importantly we are hopeful for Howe and his family.
