"T3" ACCIDENT: THE BIGGER THEY ARE...! Arnold was too manly to admit shoulder ache! Reported By: Full Picture Friday, January 31, 2003 Arnold's publicist informs us Arnold got a little banged-up on the set of "T3" but he is doing fine now after treating his shoulder months following the accident! Santa Monica, CA January 30, 2003 Arnold Schwarzenegger was released from St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica today after having surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. Orthopedic Specialists Dr. Kevin M. Ehrhart and Dr. Bert Mandelbaum treated Mr. Schwarzenegger, who was admitted to the hospital for surgery yesterday, January 29, 2003. The injury to his left shoulder was sustained while filming a stunt on the set of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Schwarzenegger opted not have his shoulder operated on at that time because he did not want to hold up the production schedule. Mr. Schwarzenegger left the hospital feeling great and in very good spirits this morning. Although he will most likely be wearing a shoulder immobilizer (a tight sling) for 3 to 4 weeks, the Terminator will not cancel his previously scheduled commitments to after school programs, including a multi-state tour for his Inner-City Games Foundation next week. After School programs are something that Schwarzenegger has been involved in and passionate about for over a decade. Mr. Schwarzenegger is the National Chairman of the Inner-City Games Foundation, which has local chapters in fifteen cities and reaches over 250,000 kids across the country. Through ICG, Schwarzenegger has personally worked with teachers, administrators and local officials to create quality, year-round, after school opportunities for under-privileged children in education, cultural and community enrichment programs as well as computers and sports. Most recently Schwarzenegger was the sponsor of Proposition 49, a successful ballot initiative for after school program funding for the State of California. The Terminator looks forward to returning to his full regiment of athletic activities and stunts. "I am feeling great," said Schwarzenegger. "I am very fortunate to have had such fantastic surgeons at St. John's work on my shoulder." ---------- |
