BRET MICHAELS Says He's At About '75 Percent' After Doctors Found A Hole In His Heart

May 22, 2010

POISON singer Bret Michaels was filmed by TMZ.com cameramen outside his Arizona home earlier this week. In the clip, which can be seen below, Michaels says he's at about "75 percent" these days, and he indicates that he plans to be in New York City on Sunday, April 23 for the finale of "The Celebrity Apprentice".

"As far as I know, Bret will be there unless his doctors tell him otherwise," his rep told People.com.

"We're cautiously optimistic that he will attend the finale," continued the rep. "But ultimately, it's up to his doctors."

Michaels was re-admitted to the hospital this past week after suffering numbness on the left side of his body, predominately his face and hands which doctors described as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or warning stroke. While MRI and CT scan tests were being conducted, Michaels also received a doppler ultrasound of his legs and lower abdomen looking for blood clots and most importantly an ultrasound bubble test of his heart was conducted which proved positive for a patent forum ovale (PFO),a hole in the heart.
