Travis Barker has continued to speak out about his recovery, this time on his myspace page. It’s great to see him recovering, and hopefully he’s finding the messages for his recovery distracting. Anyone who has had an extended stay in hospital (he’s been in since September 20) know that it is the dullest place on earth, next to Starbucks.
Travis says he is recovering well, and thanks everyone for their support. He also pays tribute to his friends/employees Chris and Che that died in the crash, saying “I would give up anything to have them here with me today.”
Like the doctors said from the beginning, its been a slow recovery process. I am coming up on the 7th of my surgeries Monday. Today I finally was able to move all my fingers on my right hand. Every step seems huge at this point, and Im 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, then its all worth it. The staff here are all bomb! Dr. Grossman and his staff are the best. The BOSS Barbara, and nurses Betty, Jay , Emily, Julio, Lolita, and Stephanie (with the best scrubs ever!) are all taking the best care of me.

Travis also includes some pictures of himself in hospital, which shows his bandages and just how serious the crash was. Burns take an amazingly long time to heal, often years, and multiple surgeries.
Travis has this to say about his ex wife. The emphases are his own, not mine.
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.
The comments that Travis refers to were made in this press release.
Today Shanna has a new PETA ad out, just a few days after Travis revealed he is eating meat to help his protein levels. Jaybird commented that at first thought she assumed the often squabbling pair were feuding again, but assumed otherwise. Perhaps they are, after all, when I’m sick I think my tolerance for people drops significantly, and that’s even people I like. It’s not unlikely that they could have had a falling out under those circumstances.
Travis ends by saying he had a visit from DJ AM and found it inspiring, highlighting the excellent medical team at their shared hospital. He also adds that he is sad to have missed his son’s birthday party, but is grateful to be around to see many more.
In the pictures the always thin Travis looks gaunt, and has his right hand bandaged past his elbow.

Bardot isn't really all that new of a hotspot - it used to be called Spider Club back in the day! Now the VIP hideaway above Avalon is a magnet for lots of A-list stars like, uh... Mischa Barton.
Above is DJ AM, rockin' a Milli Vanilli t-shirt, and Jonah Hill leaving the club in Hollywood last night. And who else did we spot out and about yesterday?
Why Gary Busey (lookin' SO totally together here!) and the stars of Nip/Tuck!

Gary Busey is happy and healthy at least. Right?
Dylan Walsh and Joely Richardson shoot Nip/Tuck in LA! Does anyone still watch their show though?
DJ AM did his thing over the weekend, spinning a set at PURE nightclub at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. It looks like Adam is happy to be back on the job, but we always see him out solo - think there's a girlfriend in the picture? Or is he just enjoying the single life?
Who should he date?
This makes us so happy.
Check out DJ AM out with friends in Malibu on Saturday, looking as if he's just about fully recovered from that tragic plane crash a couple weeks back. Good to see you out and about, man!
Let's hope Travis Barker gets better soon, too!
This should be amazing! We're hearing that DJ AM will be back on stage tomorrow night at the Hollywood Palladium, where he'll be performing with Jay-Z.
The show will be the first time DJ AM has performed since surviving a plane crash that killed four others and seriously injured Travis Barker.
After a little more than a week recovering, Travis Barker has been released from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center, according to a hospital spokesperson
"Travis is in good condition and was discharged this morning," Beth Frits said in a statement from the hospital.

DJ AM and Travis Barker are pals AND partners in musical crime -- they've created some totally interesting and creative duets and put them together on an album that was, coincidentally, being passed out last night outside the clubs!
Little did the street team (which included Adam's fellow DJ and pal Samantha Ronson) know, they were promoting this duo's moment almost at the moment the accident happened.

According to MTV News, the Lexington Country Deputy Coroner confirmed that three men and a woman were killed in the crash in Columbia, South Carolina.

Travis and DJ AM had performed at a free T-Mobile show in the Five Points area, along with Perry Ferrell and Gavin DeGraw. DeGraw's father spoke with MTV News this morning and confirmed his son was not on the plane; Ferrell's manager confirmed his client was not on the plane.

Travis Barker and DJ AM are the only two people out of six who have survived a Learjet crash in Columbia, South Carolina. The plane departed shortly before midnight last night when the plane crashed through a fence at the end of the runway and crashed into a road just outside the airport.
Two crew members and two passengers were killed; the identity of the other two passengers is still unknown.
Travis, former drummer for Blink-182 and former MTV reality show star, and DJ AM (Adam Goldstein), a popular LA DJ and ex-fiance of Nicole Richie, are at the August Burn Center and both are in critical condition. Both were in town for a concert.
