Travis Barker Talks about Plane Crash

Travis Barker is finally speaking out the horrible plane crash he was involved in last month that kill four people. Travis said:

"I hate planes. My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened … well, I’m just thankful to be alive! I’m just grateful to be here at all."

"I am doing the best I can possibly be. I’m so anxious to get out of here. …I’ve just been in surgery after surgery. I have third degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands was second degree burns and one was third degree burns. I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again. [Barker has two children, Landon, 5, and Alabama, 2, with Shanna Moakler.] I’m going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!"

"I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, ’There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.’ So I did. I don’t regret it at all, I feel so much better."

Travis is at the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles, and is due to get out in about 2 weeks. Travis used to be a strict vegetarian, but now he’s eating meat. The best meat is fish, but chicken is okay too. Of course, soy milk, and other soy products are excellent sources of protein, and a lot of other goodness too.
