Sinbad taking steps to walk again 2 years after stroke

Sinbad is learning to walk again two years after he suffered a stroke in October 2020.

On Monday, the “Sinbad Show” star’s family gave fans health updates with a website that was promoted on the actor’s Instagram and Twitter pages.

“Many of you have asked for updates and if there is anything Sinbad needs or what you can do to help,” the Instagram post said. “As a result, the family has created a site where you can keep up to date with his progress and also provide an avenue for those who wish to give.”

The website, titled “The Journey Forward,” gives more information surrounding the comic’s 2020 stroke, which was a “result of a blood clot that traveled from his heart to his brain.” It also offers a detailed summary of Sinbad’s hospitalization — from his first surgery at the West Hills Medical Center to further treatment at CedarsSinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

The family said Sinbad, 66, could not move his left side and struggled to hold his head up. Months after the stroke, in May 2021, the “Where U Been?” comic (born David Adkins) began “intense therapy” at the California Rehabilitation Institute, where he started making “considerable progress toward recovery.” In July 2021, he returned home to his family.

“He continues to receive therapy, fighting for every inch,” the “Journey Forward” website continued. “His progress is nothing short of remarkable.”

Sinbad’s recovery, however, has taken a financial toll, his family added. Fans looking to support the actor and his loved ones can donate to the Adkins Trust for the actor’s “care and help him continue to fight this battle.”
