I don't know why anyone with an ounce of brains listens to any doctors pronouncements on recovery.
Like Scott Carpenter;

NASHVILLE,
Tenn. (AP) — Country music legend Loretta Lynn has been hospitalized
after having a stroke, her publicist said Friday.
Maria
Malta, a publicist for Sony Music, confirmed that the 85-year-old
singer and songwriter was admitted into a Nashville hospital Thursday
night after suffering the stroke at her home in Hurricane Mills,
Tennessee.
Lynn's website says she is responsive and expected to make a full recovery.
It
says Lynn has been advised by doctors to stay off the road while she
recuperates, and upcoming scheduled shows will be postponed.
Lynn's
sister, the Grammy-winning singer Crystal Gayle, said in a statement
emailed by her publicist, "Many of you have heard that my sister,
Loretta Lynn, had a stroke. She's a strong woman and I know she'll come
out of this. Our family appreciates your prayers, love and support. We
pray for a speedy recovery."
Born
a Kentucky coal miner's daughter, Lynn had a string of hits starting in
the 1960s with the biographical "Coal Miner's Daughter," ''You Ain't
Woman Enough," ''The Pill," and "One's on the Way." Her songs reflect
pride in her humble background and speak frankly of her experiences as a
young wife and mother from poor Appalachia.
Her
1977 autobiography was made into a popular movie that brought an Oscar
for Sissy Spacek's portrayal of the singer. More recently, Lynn won two
Grammy Awards in 2005 for her album "Van Lear Rose."
She
continues to tour and record regularly, but had to postpone shows last
year after suffering injuries in a fall that required surgery. She is
set to release a new album this August, called "Wouldn't It Be Great,"
and she will be the subject of a new exhibit at the Country Music Hall
of Fame and Museum also in August.
One
of the icons of country music, Lynn blazed a trail as a strong-willed
singer and songwriter who wrote honest, and at times frank, songs about
sex, divorce, cheating and even birth control.
She had six children with her husband of 48 years, O.V. "Moonie" Lynn, who died in 1996
