Jay Leno up and about after burn accident but still in hospital
under the car when he was sprayed with fuel. Incredibly, a spark ignited the fuel at that moment, dousing Leno in flames. A mechanic pulled him out and quelled the flames quickly, but Leno was still left with second- and third-degree burns on his face, chest, and hands. He's being treated at the Grossman Burn Center at the West Hills Hospital by medical director Dr. Peter Grossman. The doctor provided an update Wednesday on the 72-year-old star's condition.
Leno's undergone one surgery already to remove damaged tissue and graft a temporary"biological skin substitute." Since then, he's been in hyperbaric oxygen therapy to encourage blood flow to the affected areas and keep the second-degree burns from becoming third-degree burns.
Meanwhile, Leno's being Leno, making jokes and giving cookies to children in the medical center. There's no telling yet when he'll be released, Grossman saying," I had to tell him that he needs to step back a little bit and just realize that some of this takes time. He’s very compliant, he understands that. I think he’s realizing that he does need to perhaps take it a little slower than he initially anticipated."
For anyone wondering how Leno endured gas burns with a steam car, the White uses gasoline to heat the water in the boilers to make the steam that runs the engine.
