Bret Michaels Suffers a Minor Setback
Tags: brain hemorrhage, bret michaels, condition, setback, update
Bret Michaels’ reps says that the aging hair band frontman suffered a “setback” in his recovery from a brain hemorrhage last week. According to TMZ
Test results show Bret is experiencing hyponatremia, a side effect from the subarachnoid hemorrhage which is caused by a lack of sodium in the body that often [leads] to seizures.
But despite the setback, doctors are still hopeful Bret will gradually improve, “as the blood surrounding the brain dissolves and is reabsorbed into his system, which can be a very painful recovery and take several weeks to months.”
Bret’s reps also report that the rocker “remains under 24-hour observation in the ICU and is in positive spirits. He is responding well to tests and treatments.”
Impotence can be an unfortunate side effect from any type of brain injury, but as long as it doesn’t affect his eyelining hand or his rodent-like ability to sniff out day-shift strippers, he should still be fine. Those girls aren’t really looking for an erection as much as they are someone to turn them on their side so they don’t choke to death on their own vomit and occasionally bail them out of jail. Call me, Bret!

This guy is fucked, I read earlier he’s stuttering and can’t fully comprehend what’s going on. It wouldn’t surprise me if he doesn’t make it. Goes to show you kids, don’t do drugs or you end up like this eventually.

Notice how every single statement comes from the rep, not from anyone with an MD? It’s a really good rule in life to figure the truth is the polar opposite of whatever a PR person says it is.

You have a HUGE error in this article. Hyponatremia means low sodium in the body, not impotence. There is a new-fangled invention named Google. It’s awesome.
