Wynonna Judd's Husband Walks Again, Cactus Moser [VIDEO] Drummer's Leg Amputated after Motorcycle Accident, 'Dancing With The Stars' Country Legend Reflects
After a motorcycle accident last August, drummer and husband of country legend Wynonna Judd, Michael "Cactus" Moser had to have his left leg amputated. It has been a long recovery period, but Judd announced backstage at a "Dancing With The Stars" taping that her husband is back up and walking with the help of a prosthetic leg.
The "Dancing With The Stars" contestant reflected on her husband's recovery, telling People Magazine: "After eight months of waiting, he walked towards me for the first time two days ago. It's been an emotional ride for me this week."
When the 48-year-old singer first saw the prosthetic leg, it was definitely something she needed to get used to. She said, "It freaked me out because I've seen him in a wheelchair and using a walker, and he just walked towards me and I was like, 'Wow.' I was so stunned. I saw the wreck, I saw him lose the leg."
Maybe a huge part of the recovery has been Moser's attitude this whole time. Judd said, "He's so positive. I call him Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky. It's really irritating, because sometimes I just want to complain or act tired about dancing, and he'll say, 'But you're moving and you're looking so great.' I'm like, 'Go talk to Tony. You guys are so alike.' "
With this amazingly positive news on her mind, Wynonna is ready to continue her "Dancing With The Stars" run. Reflecting on this experience, the country music star said, "I look out in the audience and I see all this love. I feel so grateful tonight. I'll go home with that in mind."
