Just three weeks after surviving a tragic plane crash, Travis Barker wrote on his blog about his experience, and his gratitude for all the support he and DJ AM have received.
Travis Barker wrote on his blog:
“Like the doctors said from the beginning, its [sic] been a slow recovery process. I am coming up on the 7th of my surgeries Monday,” the former Blink-182 drummer wrote Saturday.
“Today I finally was able to move all my fingers on my right hand. Every step seems huge at this point, and I’m doing EVERYTHING I can possibly do to get back to my kids. Yes, I did start eating meat again, but if it helps me to be home holding my little humans sooner, than its all worth it.”
Travis Barker is currently in a Los Angeles burn center where he’s now being treated for severe second and third-degree burns, the 32-year-old Barker also posted photos of himself in his hospital bed, his right arm wrapped in bandages.
Travis mainly wanted to pay tribute to his two friends that lost their lives in the plane crash. His friends that died were his assistant Chris Baker, 29, and his security guard, Charles Still, 29.
“I would give up anything to have them here with us today, healthy and happy. To call them my employees does them such a disservice, as they were so much more than that,” added Barker. “Chris was my best friend before anything else, and I can never put into words how much he will be missed. Che was an amazing person as well, and I was honored to have him in my life.”
Travis also had lots of kind words regarding his treatment at the burn unit in Georgia. Barker saw DJ AM recently, and said it “was an inspiration”.
“I saw just how awesome the doctors’ work here is, and got to see how well he is doing. I am so happy to see him doing well, and we are both so lucky and grateful that we are alive today,” he noted.
Travis thanks his friends and family, but also gets in a little “dig” to ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
“My good friend Armen has been kind enough to save me from the hospital food, and brings Jamba Juice, Wahoos, or whatever else I need to keep my calories and protein levels high.”
“Despite any rumors you might have heard via my EX-wife Shanna Moakler, who I have not seen since the week I checked in, Ive been treated amazingly well, both here in LA and in Georgia. The hospitals Ive been treated at are THE BEST.”
“My friends and family have been amazing. My pops has been with me ANY time I need him. My sisters, James, Skinhead Rob, Daniel, Hoover, Armen and of course Ricardo and Nicole, have all shown amazing support. JD and Mark Hoppus both took the time to come visit and offer their support as well. Estevan Oriol even came in with a calendar.”
Travis Barker is ready to be well enough to go home and spend time with his children.
“I cant wait to get home to play drums with my son, and go for bike rides with my daughter,” he wrote. “I cant wait to see the pictures from Landon’s “Jack and Sally Nightmare Before Christmas” birthday party that we had for him today. I am bummed that I couldn’t be there, but thank God Ill be around to see many, many more.”
We’re so glad to hear Travis is doing well and wish him a speedy recovery.
