Ozzy’s Condition Improves
The severity of Ozzy Osbourne‘s injury Monday in an all-terrain
vehicle accident wasn’t fully conveyed, according to new reports.
Wife Sharon Osbourne told the press that after Ozzy flipped his
ATV, it landed on top of him and he briefly stopped breathing and
had no pulse. A security guard rushed to his aid and resuscitated
him.
Early reports covered Osbourne’s numerous fractures (eight ribs,
a collarbone and a vertebra) and the emergency surgery to restore
flow to a damaged blood vessel. But yesterday daughter Kelly
Osbourne said that her father had just awakened for the first time
since the accident. Ozzy is on a ventilator and was unable to
speak, but Kelly said that he mouthed “I love you,” to his
family.
Osbourne, 55, is in the care of the Wexham Park Hospital in
Slough, just west of London. His wife said that doctors are
hesitant to offer a timetable for his recovery until he’s off the
ventilator.
