Recovery and Road to Wellness

During a virtual signing for East Coast Autograph Auctions, Lawler shared his current health status, affirming that he is in good shape despite minor challenges stemming from the stroke.

“My health is great. I just (went) over to the doctors to get back on the road from my knee replacement and then of course, still some minor difficulties from the stroke. But all of that stuff is coming around fast.”
