Jerry Lawler Update: Back on his feet, aware of support

WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler was back on his feet on Thursday for the first time since he suffered a heart attack on Monday. Lawler's girlfriend Lauryn McBride provided an update to WMCTV in Memphis. "They are now taking lines out and he is looking so good today!!!" McBride wrote in a text. "We will go for a walk in just a bit and s=do (sic) some more breathing exercises. Will update as the day goes on...

McBride also noted that Lawler is aware of the support he's received. "It's just the two of us here now, so we've had time to kinda talk about what's going on and where he's at…how much everybody back in Memphis and how much his family and everybody loves him and cares about him."

Powell's POV: The story states that Lawler is very sore from the CPR chest compressions and is having some trouble with his memory, which doctors hope will improve once the sedatives wear off.
