The drummer and his pal Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein were the only survivors after the Learjet they were passengers on failed to clear a runway in South Carolina and burst into flames. Four passengers died in the crash last month (Sep08), including Barker's assistant Chris Baker.
The star is currently recovering in a burns unit in Los Angeles after being discharged from hospital in Georgia - but took time out to post photographs of himself in hospital on his personal website.
Writing on his MySpace blog, Barker praises hospital staff as "all bomb" and says, "Like the doctors said from the beginning, its (sic) been a slow recovery process. I am coming up on the 7th of my surgeries Monday."
And Barker is enthused to see how well Goldstein is recovering from the devastating crash, adding: "Seeing him after he was discharged was an inspiration. I saw just how awesome the doctors' work here is, and got to see how well he is doing. I am so happy to see him doing well, and we are both so lucky and grateful that we are alive today."
But the rocker is hopeful he will be discharged from medical care soon. He writes, "Now I'm just counting the days until I can leave. I cant wait to get home to play drums with my son, and go for bike rides with my daughter.
"I can't wait to see the pictures from Landon's "Jack and Sally Nightmare Before Christmas" birthday party that we had for him today. I am bummed that I couldn't be there, but thank God Ill be around to see many, many more."
