Brace Yourself for Jeff Conaway

Posted Feb 6th 2008 12:00PM by TMZ Staff

"Celebrity Rehab" patient Jeff Conaway -- Kenickie from "Grease" -- showed up to the Ivy yesterday looking a hot mess -- his entire chest a monstrosity of braces.


Conaway, who snapped a bone in his spine while lifting boxes last year, told TMZ he's had four back surgeries since -- and may even be going in for another. Getting hooked on the painkillers is no longer a problem for the former rehab resident ... he says his dosages are fully supervised.

5. Jeff seems a lot better than he was on "Celebrity Rehab" and glad his doctor's are monitering his painkillers. Good luck to Jeff. I just wish he dumped the user girlfriend.

9. He looks great in the face -- alert and with it -- and he sounds even better. He sounds like he has a much more positive and healthy outlook on life than he's had on recent Celebrity Rehab episodes, and it it seems as though Dr. Drew ha definitely made a connection and is helping him with his ongoing pain issues and recovery. Jeff has definitely been through so much in his life and I wish him the very best and a continued recovery in all aspects. Go Jeff!

11. Aww, he seems like such a sweet guy at heart! He's not the only one who became addicted to painkillers after horrific injuries and ensuing surgeries, so don't hate! It happens, and it shows a lot of courage to deal with it publicly like he has. Love this guy...God bless you, Jeff!!

14. He does look better. I'm afraid for him with that girlfriend. On the rehab show she wouldn't give up her pain pills for her cramps. (why don't the rest of us need pain pills for cramps?) Didn't matter that Jeff shouldn't be around them. I hope she has changed.

15. He looks and sounds MUCH better than he does on Celebrity Rehab. And he's actually walking, a huge step in the right direction. Actually seeing him lucid and aware of his surroundings is a great thing.

Stay strong Jeff! Keep up the good fight!
