Bret Michaels is set to undergo surgery this fall to repair a hole found in Michaels’ heart earlier this month.
“I don’t have any other options except to think that it’s gonna be great, it’s gonna be a smooth operation and I’m gonna feel awesome,” says Michaels, who was crowned the winner of Celebrity Apprentice over the weekend.
Michaels’ health problems began last month when he was rushed to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy. He suffered a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage just a week later. During his recovery from the hemorrhage, Michaels, 47, had a mild stroke and doctors found the hole in his heart. Despite battling a litany of medical aliments, Bret flew to New York City to face Holly Robinson-Peete for the hotly-anticipated Apprentice finale.
