Bret Michaels is having the worst run of bad luck ever. Last night it was revealed on his official Facebook page that Bret was hospitalized this week after suffering a transient ischemic attack – what’s known as a warning stroke.

After running many tests, doctors discovered that Bret has a hole in his heart which is what likely led to the stroke. The kicker is that they say this is unrelated to the brain hemorrhage Michaels suffered on April 21st. And the brain hemorrhage was unrelated to the emergency appendectomy he suffered on April 12th.

How much bad luck can one person have? If any of these things were related, you’d think, "okay, it’s been a long road to figuring this all out, but that happens sometimes." But instead it’s just hit after hit after hit without any sense.

The up side is doctors are extremely optimistic about Bret’s prognosis. He’s being treated with outpatient care, including getting a daily injection of the blood thinner Lovenox to reduce the chance of blood clots.

Bret’s rep, Janna Elias, states "Bret wants everyone to know he cannot thank you enough for all of the well wishes, prayers, and good vibes you have sent his way. Even though these last few months have been tough on him and his family, especially this most recent setback, he is in good spirits, great medical hands and is positive and hopeful that everything is going to be OK. He is up, walking, talking, continuing his daily rehab and very happy to be alive but he has made it clear he is sick and tired of being in the hospital and is ready to rock again."

Hopefully Bret Michaels will take some serious time off before he rocks again. Dude deserves it.
