BRET MICHAELS Recovering After Heart Surgery
January 24, 2011POISON frontman Bret Michaels underwent successful surgery earlier today (Monday, January 24) to repair a hole in his heart — a condition he's had since birth, but only recently discovered.
Michaels, 47, is said to be recovering at a Phoenix, Arizona hospital following the surgery.
According to The Arizona Republic, doctors at Barrow and St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center directed Michaels to continue follow-up treatment for his April 2010 hemorrhage before moving ahead with surgery to repair his heart.
"I've done a lot of neurological tests, and they say I'm about 95 percent there," said Michaels. "I still have a little 'funk' with my left hand that I haven't quite figured out, but I think with a little more therapy, by one full year (after the hemorrhage),I'll be as good as I'm going to get."
He added, "Barring any complications, I should be out within three to four days. Then, I will be down (resting) for three weeks. I don't know if I can sit around for that long, but I'll try my best."
