Randy Travis: \u2018I Don\u2019t Know if He\u2019ll Ever Fully Recover\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The road to recovery is a long one \u2014 especially after suffering from a stroke. Randy Travis is still on that bumpy path following a stroke in July of last year, despite making lots of progress since then.<\/p>\n

The legend\u2019s family and friends, including fellow country singer Neal McCoy, worry the singer\u2019s stroke may affect his ability to ever perform again. Travis may be making strides, but he\u2019s starting small, and McCoy worries he may never be able to pick up a guitar again.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe looks great, but is still struggling to use both of his hands,\u201d McCoy tells People Magazine (quote via Contact Music). \u201cI don\u2019t know if he\u2019ll ever fully recover, but he\u2019s a tough guy with a work ethic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, Travis\u2019 main concerns include working on body functions like walking and talking. The stroke was a result of congestive heart failure, and despite original reports that he was improving following the stroke, Travis was rushed to surgery soon after. The emergency surgery was supposed to relive pressure from his brain.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, on Valentine\u2019s Day, Travis slipped on his cowboy boots and stepped out in public for the very first time since the stroke. His good friend, McCoy, was there and even documented the occasion on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n

McCoy isn\u2019t the only one proud of Travis\u2019 progress \u2014 the star\u2019s family members also have high hopes that he\u2019ll one day return to the stage.<\/p>\n

Says father Harold Traywick, \u201cI\u2019m sure he would just like to get back to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
