Just learned that Bret Michaels has returned to the hospital today after suffering a TIA (Trans-Ischemic Attack) like a Mini-Stroke or a precursor warning sign of an impending stroke. I have suffered a dozen TIAs myself and survived 3 strokes. I am 42 years old but I never had to deal with a hole in my heart.
I just watched Bret Michaels on Oprah yesterday and was glad to see that he was recuperating and appeared to be in good spirits. About an hour ago I had heard the news about how he has returned to the hospital. I am devestated. I did read that his hole in his heart is operable and treatable. This is the good news! Now I hope he takes some time to recover and rest up. I want him to take it EASY and please get better.
The first stroke I suffered was at age 35 and when I was watching Bret yesterday one thing he said reminded me so much of my first stroke. I remember sitting in the hospital unsure of what was going on I remember the nurse asking if I had kids and she called my husband and I heard her say, "Yes, bring your son, now so he can say goodbye" Bret mentioned how they asked him if he had kids and to bring them down. I remember that exact feeling of thinking, "CRAP, this really is happening! This is really it!"
Well, please everyone say your prayers and please send good vibes to Bret Michaels and his family!!!!
