He is home where he can be attended to by all of his friends and extended family of friends and fans. Terry is in the hospital in Dallas.

In the condition he is in Terry is only allowed visitors from the family. However, as soon as he is awake I am sure he will want all the company he can get as he travels down the tough re-hab road ahead.
