Lamar Odom needs a dose of equal parts tough love and top-shelf care.
The former NBA star is reportedly living with estranged wife Khloe Kardashian while we recovers from an October 2015 overdose at a Nevada Brothel.
It was very touch-and-go following the accident. Odom reportedly suffered several strokes while in the hospital, and had no mobility for awhile.
Fortunately, he’s made improvements, and was transferred from Nevada to LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center so that Kardashian could be by his side more often. She even spent Thanksgiving with him after eating dinner with her own family.
Now, Kardashian is making sure that Odom is adhering to her rules, so long as he’s under her roof.
A source told Hollywood Life that Kardashian is “doing everything in her power to keep a close eye on Lamar.
“Khloe definitely does not want him to go back to any brothel and so she is keeping him on a tight leash. She’s in control of his entire life as long as they are technically still married.
While Kardashian fulfills work commitments, like taping her new FYI series, Kocktails With Khloe, she’s made sure that a team of health professionals is taking care of Odom at home.
“During the day Lamar is surrounded by several nurses, assistants, a driver, and goes to 3-4 hours of physical, outpatient rehab daily,” a source told the site.
The goal is for Odom to recover and move out on his own, since Kardashian still plans on moving forward with the divorce, which she delayed after his accident in order to care for him.
“Khloe loves Lamar with all her heart but she knows she needs to move on at some point.
“As soon as she feels good about where he is mentally, physically and emotionally she will move to re-file for divorce.”
