Bret Michaels Suffers Brain Hemorrhage

by **Jana** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 7:16 am

Wow, really, really sad. I've been watching him on the Apprentice and have really enjoyed him. Hope for a good outcome.

"Bret Michaels was rushed to the hospital late Thursday night after suffering a massive hemorrhage near his brain stem, this according to People.com.

Michaels is reportedly in critical condition at an undisclosed hospital. According to the report, Michaels was suffering from excruciating headaches earlier in the day.

According to the report, Michaels underwent several tests -- including CAT scans and MRIs.

The report claims it was determined Michaels suffered from a "subarachnoid hemorrage -- bleeding at the base of his brain stem.

Earlier this month, Michaels was rushed to the hospital after experiencing stomach pains -- he ended up having his appendix removed."

I was just gonna post this. Here's to hoping a speedy and full recovery for Bret.

Luckily, I haven't seen him on The Apprentice lately... or ever. But that's a story for another day.

Talk about someone who's good to his fans ...great guy!!
He sure is accident~prone, though!! Remember the whack
on the head he took last year at this time ...some awards
show!! For someone with such fragile health anyway,
he better start taking care!! :wink:

He just had his appendix taken out two weeks ago. Back onto the table, he goes.

big fan of the first three poison albums and they were favorites of mine as a teen back in the late 80's.hope bret recovers from this.my mother had a brain aneurysm a couple years back and the chances of surviving one aren't good.they called my mother a miracle because she was inches from being gone.hopefully bret will survive this and i'm pulling for him. :cry:

by **lights1961** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 7:43 am

He is great TV... and has been stellar on the apprentice, Brett is the only guy that actually does the guts work for the guys... only creative guy...and Trump always wants to fire him almost every week... typical tycoon... kill the guy that does your work... promote the guys who kiss your ass... hope he has a speedy recovery...

by **Peartree12249** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 8:40 am

That's really sad news. :cry:

He seems like a decent guy and he has 2 daughters that he really loves. I feel sorry for him and his family. I hope he get's better soon, but it doesn't look good.

I wonder if that whack on the head had something to do with it? :shock:

I hope he gets through this. As was said before, he seems to be a decent guy.

Uh oh.....subarachnoid hemorrage. Not much chance of recovery from that....but one has to hold onto hope and the improbable to occur.

It depends...it could be drained...but it is a serious diagnoses no doubt.

Wow, that is major. SAH's are not easily survivable/recoverable. Damn.

i forgot all about that award shop mishap.rick you very well could be right.sometimes months or years after people suffer a blow to the head it could lead to seizures or anuresym.

by **mikemarrs** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 9:20 am

these things are bad.they had to take out a part of my moms brain stem or something around it to relieve swelling and it also caused her blood pressure to shoot up.we were up at that hospital for months.i think bret can pull through but it will be a long recovery.

I wondered the same thing, actually. Life can be a real trip. I wish Mr. Michaels a full, successful recovery with lots of love and blessings to last a lifetime.

I do hope and pray he will be fine.I really like him & his music. :wink:

by **Triple S** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 10:15 am

Wow - that's awful. I've grown to really like him watching Celebrity Apprentice this season. I sincerely hope he can recover from this, he seems like a good guy.

Thats good news! I'm glad the initial reports were mistaken to the severity.

They also said on TMZ in that story: We're told the next 24 to 48 hours are critical -- Bret will be closely monitored

Yeah...I had the "Look What The Cat Dragged In" album. I purchased it in Japan right when it was a brand new release. 24 years ago, crazy how time just flies!
