Travis Barker, who was critically burned in a September plane crash that killed four others — wrote a long post on his MySpace page Saturday to thank his supporters and share what's going on with him. He talks about losing assistant Chris Baker and security guard Charles Still in the crash:
 

First and foremost, Chris and Che were my friends. I would give up anything to have them here with us today, healthy and happy. To call them my employees does them such a disservice, as they were so much more than that. Chris was my best friend before anything else, and I can never put into words how much he will be missed. Che was an amazing person as well, and I was honored to have him in my life.

He says his doctors have all been amazing but his recovery process is slow. He will undergo his seventh surgery today (Monday, Oct. 13). Saturday was the first time he was able to move all the fingers on his right hand.

He tenderly shares many little details, including photos, of what he is going through — and ends like he started, with more gratitude:

Now Im 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 cant 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.

Thank you everyone for your support!

Do yourself a favor. Visit Travis Barker's MySpace page and read his long, personal blog entry. You'll be glad you did.

Keep the faith, Travis. We all love you.
