Jerry Lawler Walks For First Time Since Heart Attack

Jerry Lawler's girlfriend, Lauryn McBride, sent an update to WMC-TV in Memphis about "The King's" progress. She told the news station that he ate some oatmeal and eggs earlier today, and even walked around his hospital room.

"(and fixed his hair---for everyone knows how he is about his hair---lol.) They are now taking lines out and he is looking so good today!!!" McBride texted to Action News 5's Joe Birch. "We will go for a walk in just a bit and s=do (sic) some more breathingexercises (sic). Will update as the day goes on."

Jim Ross also posted the following update on his Twitter: "The King is moving around and eating. In great frame of mind. Getting better by the day. All good news. On road to full recovery."
