MTV Host TJ Lavin Out of Coma and Talking

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 26th 2010 05:25PM

'Real World/Road Rules Challenge' host T.J. Lavin is out of the medically-induced coma he was placed in following an October 14th BMX accident.

Lavin, whose bike skills are the inspiration for the video game 'MTV Sports: T.J. Lavin's Ultimate BMX', suffered broken ribs, a shattered wrist, and loss of consciousness after falling while attempting a stunt at the Dew Tour Championships in Las Vegas.

The biker, a multiple X-Games gold medalist, was reportedly hoping to make the Dew Tour his final ride as a pro BMXer.

Despite the severe nature of his injuries, Lavin's manager and business partner, Chas Aday told Us Weekly, "He's off the ventilator and breathing on his own. He's getting better day by day."

While Aday admits that his friend is "not making a lot of sense right now," he says Lavin is "putting the pieces of the puzzle together" and that doctors expect him to recover fully from his injuries.

Lavin, whose mother, girlfriend, and friends have been visiting him constantly since his hospital admission, is scheduled for wrist surgery on Tuesday. No word has been given yet on when he will be released.

When someone starts to or recovers from an accident it is better than the alternative. Keep improving!

Who in the hell is TJ Lavin?

TJ Lavin played "Little Joe" on Bonanza. His performance on the show inspired me and made me the man I am today.

By MEG

What Bonanza are you talking about? Because the ONLY Little Joe on Bonanza was played by the late actor Michael Landon?

By S. D. Humphries

Well Shrimp, you read the article...didn't you retain any of it?

Meg, Oh yeah, I meant he played "Mary" on the Lou Grant show. Thanks for correcting me. His portrayal of Mary was inspiring and made me the man I am today.
