He even exited an SUV to return a woman\u2019s lost purse in Chicago. A source close to Foxx and his camp told <em>People Magazine<\/em> that he\u2019s \u201cdoing great.\u201d After Foxx\u2019s appearance on the Chicago River, the source said, \u201cHe is just taking it easy. He\u2019s not really having any visitors or anything like that yet, but he\u2019s doing really, really well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another source told the outlet that the actor \u201chas been working really hard these last couple of months to get back to normal and has greatly improved since he first got to the facility.\u201d The source also shared that Foxx recently had a party \u201cto celebrate being better\u201d at the Chicago rehabilitation facility he\u2019s been going to. They added, \u201cHe is still doing some outpatient rehab, though.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cu_Iog9tJIk\/\">In an Instagram video<\/a>, Foxx didn&#8217;t explain what exactly happened but discussed the severity of his condition while he was in the hospital. He said,\u201cBut I did go to hell and back,\u201d he added. \u201cMy road to recovery had some potholes as well but I\u2019m coming back, and I\u2019m able to work.\u201d He also explained why it took so long for fans to hear from him, saying, \u201cI just didn\u2019t want you to see me like that. I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, a television show. I just didn\u2019t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actor recently made his first public appearance since his medical scare and reflected on the incident. Speaking at the Critics Choice Association&#8217;s Celebration of Cinema &amp; Television: Honoring Black, Latino, and AAPI Achievements, the 55-year-old actor opened up about his health scare during an emotional award acceptance speech.<\/p>\n<p>Fox said as he accepted the Vanguard Award for his performance in &#8220;The Burial,\u201d &#8220;I want to thank everybody. I&#8217;ve been through something. I&#8217;ve been through some things. It&#8217;s crazy; I couldn&#8217;t do that six months ago. I couldn&#8217;t actually walk,&#8221; he added as he welled up with emotion. Showing his appreciation for life, Foxx said, &#8220;It feels good to be here. I cherish every single minute now. It&#8217;s different. It&#8217;s different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t wish what I went through on my worst enemy because it&#8217;s tough when you almost&#8230; When it&#8217;s almost over when, you see the tunnel. He then joked, &#8220;I saw the tunnel. I didn&#8217;t see the light! It was hot in that tunnel, so I didn&#8217;t know where I was going. S&#8212;, am I going to the right place? I saw the devil goin &#8216;C&#8217;mon, now.'&#8221; In another lighter moment, Foxx assured the audience that he was also not a clone, despite previous rumors.<\/p>\n<p>After thanking the team behind \u201cThe Burial,\u201d Foxx ended his speech with, &#8220;I want to say six months ago, I couldn&#8217;t fathom that this could happen or that I would be here, but as I walk up here to this microphone and get this Vanguard Award, all I can say is &#8216;Lord, have mercy, Jesus.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jamie Foxx\u2019s recovery is proof that prayer works! To go from suffering from a medical complication in April to being out and back to work three months later proves that God heard the prayers of the masses. It also proves that Foxx has been dedicated to his recovery process, not letting anything get in his way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamie Foxx says he has \u201cbig\u201d things ahead three months after suffering from a medical complication.
