Dusty Payne: Back From The Dead | “… a 5-hour surgery where they basically pulled my face off.”
Dusty Payne had a rough go last winter suffering through a near-death wipeout at Backdoor. Can’t keep the good man down though. Dusty has been recovering strong after spending ages in the hospital and undergoing many procedures.
Sample:
What are some of the surgeries and procedures you’ve had done since your injury? What have you had to endure?
Well when the accident happened on January 8th. I don’t remember anything from that point until probably about January 25th. So during that gap of 15 days I endured a couple different surgeries. They had to do a tracheotomy so I could breathe. They also had to clear the water that was in my lungs and wait for the swelling in my head to go down until they could perform surgery on the multiple fractures I had on my skull, which was about a 5-hour surgery where they basically pulled my face off. And my jaw was broken in two places. Since that initial surgery to repair the jaw I’ve had to go under two other times to fix it since it wasn’t healing correctly. In total I’ve had my mouth wired shut for about 11 weeks. But I finally just had that removed last week and starting to eat soft foods again.
