Bret Michaels Medical Update 5/04/10

Bret Michaels has been released from the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. The lead doctor treating Michaels, Dr. Joseph Zabramski, said at a news conference today that he recommends Michaels wait at least four to six weeks before resuming normal activity. Doctors wouldn't say when Michaels was released or whether he was sent home or to a rehabilitation facility.

Zabramski said Michaels is receiving therapy and continues to suffer from the effects of blood that pooled under his brain and is now dissolving. Two tests showed that Michaels did not suffer an aneurism, so doctors are unsure what caused his brain hemorrhage.

"He's improving and I expect him to continue to improve," said Zabramski. "I really expect that he will fortunately make a 100 percent recovery. He's just one of those lucky people – 10 to 20 percent who make a complete recovery and can resume all of their normal activities."
