Travis Barker Speaks on Broken Arm

Earlier I said, "Does he have osteoporosis, or does he really rock that hard?" Looks like I was right. This doesn’t just happen. Docs say Travis needs to eat better. He probably isn’t getting enough calcium in his vegetarian diet. A true vegetarian diet usually avoids dairy products, but a person can take Oscal or something to make up for it. Still, Travis says he could have a tumor that may have caused the break, and if that’s true they most likely saw it on the MRI. Another thing Travis should be considering is that smoking will slow healing, and it could take 1-2 years for his are to heal if he keeps smoking. Normally it takes about 6-8 weeks. Here’s what Travis Barker said on his MySpace all in large caps (dude, you don’t need to yell):

SO AS OF NOW I WONT BE PLAYING ON SATURDAY WITH AM OR ANY OF THE UPCOMING +44 SHOWS. I HAD THE WORST PAIN IN MY ARM THE DAY AFTER WE FILMED OUR VIDEO AND I REALLY THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. WE PLAYED FOR 8 HRS LIKE I USUALLY DO BUT I GUESS THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT. I THEN PLAYED OUR ENTIRE EUROPEAN LEG OF OUR PROMO TOUR IN THE WORST PAIN I’VE EXPERIENCED EVER. I GOT X-RAYS IN LONDON BY AN URGENT CARE DOCTOR THAT SAID HE COULDNT DETERMINE WHAT EXACTLY HAD HAPPENED. WHEN I GOT BACK TO LA I SAW ANOTHER DOCTOR AND HAD EVERY TEST POSSIBLE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON IN MY ARM. THE MRI/X-RAY SHOWED I’D BEEN PLAYING WITH A BROKEN ARM FOR 3 WEEKS AND OR POSSIBLE TUMOR IN MY ARM. IM AT A LOSS OF WORDS, JUST TAKING EVERYTHING ONE DAY AT A TIME. I’VE BEEN TOLD TO EAT MEAT AND CHANGE MY DIET(IVE BEEN VEGETARIAN FOR 16 YEARS) CAUSE ITS MAKING MY BONES WEAK. I NEVER THOUGHT I’D BREAK A BONE FROM PLAYING MY DRUMS TOO HARD/ TOO LONG…EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. I’M GONNA SPEND THE NEXT 6 WEEKS WITH MY BABIES AND PRODUCING….SEE YOU @ A SHOW SOON.

PS- IM ATTEMPTING TO LEARN THE SET WITH ONE ARM FOR +44 SHOWS SO DON’T COUNT ME OUT YET….I TRY FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT:)
