Toronto broadcaster Bob McCown says his condition has improved to the point he is able to leave the hospital and continue his recovery at home.
“This has been a slow process and I am no where near recovered but I am better,” the former Sportsnet 590 The FAN personality said in a Twitter update on Thursday. “Thanks again for the kind thoughts.”
I have now reached a point where I can leave the hospital and go home to continue my recovery. This has been a slow process and I am no where near recovered but I am better. Thanks again for the kind thoughts.

Late last month the 71-year-old said he had suffered two strokes over the last couple of weeks that had robbed him of the ability to speak and to walk.
On Tuesday, McCown tweeted that both his speech and his walking had improved and that “hospital staff are figuring out when to kick me out of here.”
