Lamar Odom Just Took Three Major Steps Towards Recovery

by Gillian Fuller

After Lamar Odom's tragic overdose in October, many feared the former baller would never fully bounce back.

But this week, Odom took huge steps in his recovery, proving he still has a lot of fight left in him.

According to TMZ, Khloé Kardashian's ex-husband managed to take three steps without his walker on Thursday, a feat doctors never expected him to accomplish — or at least, not this quickly.

Odom's brain function is also slowly improving, as a source says the former Lakers player recognized a hospital staff member for the first time.

The anonymous source says the 35-year-old will be moved into a long-term rehab facility in the near future.
