After a challenging bout with biventricular heart failure, an
ailment that seriously affected his heart and lungs, seasoned Nigerian
actor, Kayode Odumosu, popularly called Pa. Kasumu, has considerably
regained his health.

His son, Tunde, confirmed this on Monday. According to him, his father has practically recovered and he is back to his old self.
He
says, “Although he will still be flown abroad for treatment on his knee
cap (arthritis related), he can now see better and he is physically
fit.
“In fact, his physiotherapist has certified that he can now be left to go out on his own without any assistance or monitoring.
“He can also move around on his own. He is a lot better, compared to the time he was bed-ridden.”
The
actor, who turned 60 and celebrated the 45th anniversary of his acting
career last year, fell ill after suffering partial stroke in 2009. He
had to undergo several tests and was also forced to take several
expensive medications, which set him back financially.
This
burden was further compounded by the fact that he had no house of his
own and still lived in a multi-tenanted apartment, commonly called
‘face-me-I-face-you,’ in densely populated Mushin area of Lagos State.
Thankfully, that was in the past as his family members have just acquired an apartment for him to begin a new lease of life.
