Travis Barker Blogs About Progress Since Crash
Travis Barker, one of two survivors of last month’s plane crash that killed four people, and put him and DJ AM in the Hospital, blogged late Saturday on his MySpace page regarding the accident. In his post, he thanks fans for all their support, pays tribute to his assistant, Chris Barker, and security guard, Charles “Che” Still, both of whom were killed in the accident.
“Thank you. I want to give my deepest thanks to everyone who has helped deal with the current situation,” blogs Barker. “First and foremost, Chris and Che were my friends. 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. 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.”
Barker also blogs about his progress, and writes that he is now able to move his hands, while also denying rumors that he and ex-wife Shanna Moakler are reuniting.
“Like the doctors said from the beginning, its been a slow recovery process. I am coming up on the 7th of my surgeries Monday,” writes Barker. “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.”
“Despite any rumors you might have heard via my EX-wife Shanna Moakler, who I have not seen since the week I checked in, I’ve been treated amazingly well, both here in LA and in Georgia. The hospitals I’ve been treated at are THE BEST,” said Barker.
