SCHWARZENEGGER'S BAD TO THE BONE! Arnolds recovers 80% from crash! Reported By: René de Jong Wednesday, February 6, 2002 Schwarzenegger's six broken ribs and one pierced lung, that filled with fluid, hurt! He told The Associated Press last week during an interview to promote his new movie, "Collateral Damage." "It was very painful, much more painful than the heart surgery," he said, referring to an operation he had in 1997 to replace a heart valve. "A rib breaking is like the worst." The former bodybuilder said his health has been fine since his heart surgery and that he's about 80 percent recovered from his injuries. The accident happened Dec. 9 when a car stopped in front of him and he was unable to change lanes to avoid the vehicle, the 54-year-old Schwarzenegger said. "So what you do is, and I learned this on `Terminator,' how to put the bike down. You put the rear brake on, it slides out, you go down with the bike and you slide with both wheels into the car," he said. His ribs were broken when his chest hit the motorcycle windshield. Naturally The Terminator is on his way to making a full recovery as he is already on his feet for his “Collateral Damage” promotional tour and is back into the gym readying for T3! ---------- |
