Lamar Odom's health crisis continues despite his waking up from a medically induced coma. He suffered pneumonia which required two emergency surgeries, and his next worry is permanent scarring of lungs.
That's on top of the former Lakers player's malfunctioning kidney that requires Lamar to undergo regular dialysis. He is still weak that a kidney transplant is out of the question for now even if some fans have expressed willingness to donate their organ.
People cites its source that the husband of Khloe Kardashian could perform simple directions, but he takes time carrying it out. However, it is still an improvement from last week. "But everyone knows that he'll never be the same as he was before this happened. There will always be lasting effects, and doctors are just trying to minimize them," the source says.
Lamar was found unconscious two weeks ago at the Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada, where he spent four days taking 10 herbal Viagras and cocaine that he brought in from outside. The two sex trade workers he picked, Ryder Cherry and Monica Monroe, share that they did not have much sex but spent more time dining and talking.
The Nye County Sheriff's Department said on Monday that lab test result on the former NBA star's blood made by Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center confirm that Lamar was positive for cocaine, reports TMZ. That would compound Lamar's medical woes since Sheriff Sharon Wehrly was previously quoted as saying that Lamar would be prosecuted if cocaine was in his body.
Hollywoodlife claims the two sex trade workers who spent four days with Lamar allegedly had a history of drug abuse and Love Ranch urged the athlete to pick them because they would tolerate drug use. However, Dennis Hof, owner of the brothel, had previously insisted none of his employees have drug use history because he has background check done on them prior to hiring.
