Willie Rushing was last seen around 8:15 a.m. Thursday when he wheeled himself out of Lakefront Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in the 7600-block of North Sheridan Road in the city's Rogers Park neighborhood. He was only wearing a light brown jacket, a white short, navy blue pants and white gym shoes at the time.

Rushing had a massive stroke in January of 2015, which left him paralyzed on his right side and unable to speak. He takes a good amount of medication essential to his health, which is typically administered by a nurse. Rushing does not have the medication with him.

Just an FYI, but the correct terminology should be 'wheelchair user' or 'person who uses wheelchair' (preferably, but longer).

Hope he is found safe. I'm surprised he would be able to maneuver himself so easily out of the hospital if he was paralyzed on one side. How did someone not notice?
