PLANO, Texas, June 21 (UPI) --Country singer Randy Travis is still unable to speak nearly one year after he had a stroke due, sources close to him told TMZ.
Travis had surgery to relieve pressure on his brain July 8 due to the stroke, which also caused paralysis.
He's now able to walk with a cane, but still can't speak.
A representative for Travis told TMZ the singer is working with a therapist and could even be fit enough to take the stage in another three years or so.
A source who has spent quite a bit of time with Travis, said he's not able to form a sentence and may not even be able to follow conversations.

So sad. I had the same heart problem, but fortunately didn't have a stroke and am doing fine! They did have to replace the atortaic valve, repair the Mitral valve, and repair a hole between chambers.
The old ticker is back to 60%. (close to normal for an old man) Those infections can cause immediate mass destruction! DR. is amazed at the progress!

One wonders how much alcohol/drug abuse has affected his health issues?

That's one way to keep him from wandering the streets nude.

Sad to end up this way.
As mentioned, he caused some of this trouble.
