Remember Bret Michaels horrific brain-hemorrhage ordeal last year? The rocker was seriously in the red for a while, about which he later revealed, ,“It made my mind go almost blank. My neck tensed up. I couldn’t move my head at all… I knew I was slurring my words, and I was like, Ok this isn’t a headache. There’s something really bad happening.” Unfortunately, to make matters even worse, doctors also found a hole in his heart while he was hospitalized. With all these combined factors, his recovery was nothing short of miraculous.
Now, Bret’s going back in for surgery to close the hole in his heart. The operation is going to happen in Phoenix at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Centre, and it doesn’t sound like an easy one. The details almost gave us a heart attack. Be warned, before you read ahead. Apparently, doctors have to insert a catheter tube into a vein in Michael’s groin. Pause for some cringing. They will then lead wires and a closure device into his heart. Oh.My.God.
This is all for the best, though because this procedure will allow blood flow to resume it’s normal circulation between the heart’s two chambers. We wish Bret all the luck, especially for a speedy recovery.
