Bret Michaels/Poison

[Molly]

Molly - I heard he was on blood thinners due to his appendectomy - could that have an effect?

Hmmm, wonder why they put him on blood thinners? Sounds like there's a lot we don't know about his actual condition/history. And, of course, that's as it should be.

Basically, sounds like he's had a stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke.

He's also a diabetic. I don't know why the blood thinners would be prescribed, though. If they were, they would definitely increase the chance of hemorrhage. I hope everything turns out OK.

Here's the latest. The doctor here says it's a bit dire since the family nor the doctors have said anything. There is (of course) a commercial first.

Oh gosh, poor guy. It all sounds pretty grim. I hope he can pull out of this.

******************

for Bret! I hope this is true. It sounds very similar to what happened to my s/n/l and she has pretty well made a full recovery. Amazingly. (Although her aneurysm was in the front of her brain.)

I wonder why they can't find the source of the bleeding? Strange.

And here's more:

I'm very happy and relieved too. But does anybody else find it disturbing that the article says, “We are working to reschedule dates from now until May 21..." and yet it also says, While the rocker/reality TV star still has slow and slurred speech, doctors are now saying with months of rehabilitation Michaels should make a full recovery.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I can't imagine he'd be ready by May 21st.

[EagleLady]

So glad to hear he'll recover

OMG PM, we are SO on the same wavelength. I read that yesteday and was stunned! If that is true, somebody is NOT looking out for his best interest.

I'm very happy that it appears he is going to be okay though.
