Los Angeles (GaeaTimes.com) - Bret Michaels is back in a Hospital in Los Angeles after suffering from a warning stroke. It is reported that he has been diagnosed with a patent forum ovale which is simply known as hole in the heart. He was released only a few days ago from intensive care after his brain hemorrhage. According to his website, the 47 year old Poison frontman was apparently suffering numbness on the left side of his body and he went to get checked out. Several tests were done for diagnosis. Doctors concluded that he had a Transient Ischemic Attack or a warning stroke.
It is reported that he is undergoing care at the St. Joseph’s Hospital’s Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. Joseph Zabramski, Michael’s physician, reportedly said that the diagnosis was ‘devastating news to Bret and his family’. He also said that the condition is operable and treatable.
Janna Elias, Michael’s representative is quoted on his website that Michaels is walking and talking. Elias also said that he is in good spirits and is positive and hopeful that everything is going to be OK.
He has made it clear he is sick and tired of being in the hospital and is ready to rock again.
The musician was to appear on stage with a show on May 28 at the hard Rock in Biloxi, Miss. He also had to appear on the May 23 season finale of Celebrity Apprentice. He is competing for the title to get the US$250,000 prize which he will donate to the American Diabetes Association. He has had diabetes since his childhood.

In Bret’s defense, I believe he HAS been staying home. The Oprah interview was held at his house. I hope he makes it through all this and has a long life. He is really a nice person. |
