Jake E.Lee has given an update on his health and offered a few more details about his shooting
Last month, the former guitarist of ozzy osbourne’s band had the misfortune of running into a couple of thieves while walking his dog at night. He was shot multiple times, but he managed to pull through While Ozzy has expressed concern about his health, Lee is expected to make a full recovery.
Lee recently took to social media to give his fans an update, and to shed some light on the incident:
“Hope everyone’s enjoying their Thanksgiving. I’ve been debating on publicly talking about getting shot and have decided that it would probably be good for me. Somewhat therapeutic, and by documenting it I can more easily put it behind me. And you might find parts of it interesting! At first, it seemed too daunting but then I realized I can do it in parts.”
“Like this: We were about 50ft apart when I heard the shots. I quickly realized he wasn’t aiming at me. He was aiming at my dog! I threw my end of the leash at Coco and yelled to go home. He did. He’s a good boy.”
Lee continued:
“The first shot to hit me was in my left forearm. Entered about an inch below the elbow on the underside. Exited topside. It felt like a burn. Not particularly painful, just like a quick burning sensation. I thought it must have been a graze. Fortunately, it missed any bones, and my elbow joint, and has healed remarkably quickly.”
“The scars aren’t much bigger or darker than some of my age spots and I’d probably have to point them out for you to notice. All the fingers still move well. Initially lost the feeling in the back of my hand but it has been slowly coming back. In the spirit of giving thanks, I am most thankful my dog wasn’t hurt, and also the damage to my fretting arm was minimal.”
