Re: Bret Michaels Hospitalized (Again) with "Warning" Stroke
That's great that he's been released.
But also seems to be ANOTHER inconsistency in his condition. He's well enough to be released, and yet yesterday or the day before his sister stated that he had just started walking again.
WTF?

I'm not sure that's all that uncommon. When Tedy Bruschi, ILB for the New England Patriots, had his stroke he was released from the hospital and walked feebly with some assistance. Just because a person may not be ready to do jumping jacks doesn't mean they aren't fit to be released.

Hospitals don't keep people like they used to. As soon as they can ship you out, they do. Sometimes it's to a rehab facility, but they get you out ASAP.
Except Bret has money. Hospitals like money.
Re: Bret Michaels Hospitalized (Again) with "Warning" Stroke
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Bret Michaels is back in the hospital.
The rocker and reality TV star suffered what doctors call a "warning stroke" and has been diagnosed with a patent forum ovale, or hole in the heart, according to a report Thursday on his website. Michaels' publicist, Joann Mignano, confirmed the report.
Michaels was hospitalized after experiencing numbness on the left side of his body, particularly in his face and hands.
Doctors said the condition is operable and treatable and likely unrelated to the brain hemorrhage the 47-year-old suffered last month.
Michaels' neurosurgeon said that while the Poison frontman has a "fantastic attitude" about making a full recovery, "Bret's brain and body are not quite 100 per cent yet, especially with the hole found in his heart."
Additional tests were being conducted to determine the best course of treatment. Doctors said Michaels is currently being treated with a daily injection of a blood thinner to reduce the risk of clots.
His website said Michaels was "up, walking, talking, continuing his daily rehab and very happy to be alive."
"He has made it clear he is sick and tired of being in the hospital and is ready to rock again," the site says.
Michaels was expected to appear at Sunday's finale of Donald Trump's "The Celebrity Apprentice" in New York. NBC said in a statement that the network is "cautiously optimistic" that Michaels can attend the live season finale.
"Ultimately, it's up to Bret and his doctors if he should attend," the statement said.
In the episode, Trump's boardroom revelation of the winner will air live. The rest of the show was taped last year, including the final challenge segment.

Poor Bret. Just when he thought he was out of the woods. I know he wants to get right back out there and prove he's ready to move on and rock again, but I just hope he does the smart thing and eases back into it at the right time.
Re: Bret Michaels Hospitalized (Again) with "Warning" Stroke
He NEEDS TO BACK IT DOWN.
Slow down, cancel some dates, fuck Celebrity Apprentice (unless he's the winner, than that could complicate some stuff)... take it easy... take the summer off.
It doesn't help his health issues that he continues to try and go 110mph all the time.
Re: Bret Michaels Hospitalized (Again) with "Warning" Stroke
Apparently the doctors suggested he not go to the Apprentice finale, but he did and he won so at least that worked out. And he's going on The Tonight Show tomorrow night. Unfortunately, his career is as hot as its ever been right now and he probably wants to take advantage of that as best he can, despite the risks. He joked on the show last night that he feels that he's at risk just getting out of bed in the morning the way things have gone lately, so what's the harm. I just hope he doesn't rush out there too soon to go back on tour. His momentum will carry over, it will be a big deal when he returns to the stage regardless of if it's next week or 3 months from now.
