As I Lay Dying’s Tim Lambesis has burned of 25% of his body. The frontman shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed and explained that while trying to start a bonfire, he accidently poured gas on himself. He is currently recovering in a Southern California hospital.
Keep your head up no matter what! I’m doing the best I can to make a thumps up on my way to surgery (in about 30 minutes).
I apologize to my friends that I have not had the time to fill in yet on what happened. The entire gas cap fell off when trying to use a little from the trickle tip to get a bonfire started. Gas got all over my clothes and I ended up burning 25% of my body.
I’ve been in the hospital since Saturday night, and I will be here for a couple more weeks most likely. Today’s surgery is to remove the remaining dead skin that we were unable to scrub off during dressing changes this week. It will be for the best so that we won’t have to scrub so hard during dressing changes, and that is a big relief for me. I am extremely thankful for the Burns center workers who are taking care of me.
I will try to update on my recovery. It will be a long road, but I will get back to full strength eventually.
Lambesis was about to have surgery to remove any remaining dead skin and assures us that he’ll be back to full strength eventually.
