Good news! You're once again free to peruse Dean McDermott's Twitter page without fear of stumbling upon way too much information about his adventures in catheterland.

Because (even more good news!) he's finally been released from the hospital.

A week after a dirt bike wipeout saw him briefly ICU-bound with a punctured and collapsed lung, Tori Spelling's other half was discharged yesterday afternoon and sent home to continue his recovery, his rep Meghan Prophet confirmed to E! News.

"We R SO happy tht @deanracer is finally home from hospital!" Tori tweeted. "The kids and I picked him up this afternoon. We R all in bed now while he rests."

In addition to the painful lung injuries, the 43-year-old father of two sustained substantial bruising on his right side and had three stitches on his rear, where a stone had become embedded.

"I'm healing, slowly Ill be doing rehab for a while I messed a few things up when I crashed," he tweeted.

Unsurprisingly, and perhaps wisely, he has since sworn off a return to the off-road.

"Let's just say, I won't be dirt biking anymore."
