Long beach singer Nate Dogg is recovering from a stroke and doing well in therapy, according to childhood friend and longtime collaborator, Warren G.
Nate Dogg, born Nathaniel Hale has suffered two strokes since January of 2008.
The strokes left the Grammy-nominated singer partially paralyzed and he was also using an assisted breathing tube, to make breathing easier.
"Hes in therapy getting himself together, thats all I can tell people," Warren G. told HardKnock.tv. "I see him any and every time I want to. Its hard when you have somebody that got two strokes, usually the person dont make it. But hes strong. Hes getting good therapy and hes pulling out of it.
According to Warren G., Nate Dogg was relearning to use basic human functions and that he can lift his head up.
Its hard when you first have a stroke, you got to learn everything over again, Warren G. stated. Its like youre a baby again. You gotta learn everything.
