Thursday, October 05, 2006 

Current mood:  anxious
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:)

OMG well I really hope it is nothing serious and all but take care - keep positive and keep rested - I don't believe the thing about eating meat as I got told it is only B12 I was missing from never eating meat and I can get a suppliment for that.  But do what is needed and take care.xxx

If anyone can do it, you can...rest up, though! No sense in damaging yourself more.

Love the babies, and get some down time!

That sux Travis, having a broken arm and having to eat meat after being a long-time vegetarian. The upside of this all is your kids and spending time with them!!!! I know your kids make you happy no matter what is going on, I could tell on the show and how you talk about them in interviews and stuff. Rest your arm as much as you can.

Travis... will keep you in my thought and prayers... hope all is well and it turns out to be just broken instead of a tumar... You are the greatest drummer of our time and I know we will be seeing you play out for years to come... Best wishes for a speedy recovery...

Please...PLEASE play the Phoenix Show. I've been dieing to see you guys live. I'm sure you can learn to play with one arm. I prey to god you can, because this is all I have to hold on to from Blink. I've seen AVA live, and I need to see (+44).  I never saw Blink, so I NEED to see you guys. For Real..

P.S- Sorry this had to happen, your life is really kinda going downhill. But keep your head up. You'll bounce back, for sure. I hope you had a pre-nup.

Ouch! Sounds very painful. Give your body time to heal. Honestly, I don't think you should have to eat meat to heal. Maybe you can start taking vitamins. Hope you feel better!

Hugs!

Dam Dude,

Your a rebel for doin what you love under so much pain.  I hope all goes well and its just a broken arm. I love what you do and what you will keep on doin.  When something tries to take away the thing you love most after your babies it wont happen.  Hope you have a fast recovery and your back out there soon, one arm or two you will get through.  God bless man

Trav,
hope your Dr. can figure out whats wrong. Maybe you'll get a cool bionic arm. Hopefully you can still make the + 44 in San Diego on the 18th.

take care and relax - you only have one set of arms and its not worth it to mess them up!

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ! Travis. Everything DOES happen for a reason. But you are a very wise one...you'll spend time with your babies and appreciate every minute.

Take all the time you need. You're talented and amazing in your skills...

You make the world a better place in your own special way.

Take care and God bless

Tough Break (no pun intended).  I wish you luck with the one hand attempt.  If anyone can do it, Id put all bets on you.  If you have to eat meat, make sure its Kobe beef.  That's the best!

Life in general always has a way of slowing you down when you need to be. Hopefully its not a tumor and u can get back 2 being u. I believe if the guy from Def Leppard can play with one arm, u can do it too bc you're one dedicated m/f! Just take it slow, and u should be fine. Don't get discouraged...it'll happen!

so sad to hear. when i found out yesterday, i was like omg no, travis of all people. but its true things happen for a reason, you don't know what it is, but soon enough you will. its kinda funny cause i was like uhmm hopefully its not cancelled, cause i know how dedicated you are, and i was like he could bust one like the drummer from def leppard, how awesome would that be. And there you have it, you said don't count me out yet. we are all here for you, get better

peace<3

Hey Travis don't let that get you down. I hope and pray everything works out for you! The drummer of Def Leopard only has one arm. So anything is possible. Plus eat a steak, You don't know what your missing!!!

I was also a vegetarian for many years and the Dr. told me I  had become anemic from not being smart about it. There are healthy ways of being a vegetarian. You just have to make sure you get protein and iron from alternative sources. Make sure you double up on it and take lot's of vitamins.

Keep your chin up. Looking forward to more music from ya!!
