Bret Michaels Setback

News reports are claiming that Bret Michaels's condition has gotten worse since he had a brain hemorrhage last week and that he may need further surgery.
 
Michaels has Hyponatremia, a side effect from the bleeding in his brain, which has brought down the sodium in his the blood to extremely low levels.
 
Michaels' website explains "with further testing and rehabilitation, [doctors] are hopeful that Bret will gradually improve as the blood surrounding the brain dissolves and is reabsorbed into his system, which can be a very painful recovery and take several weeks to months."

Bret remains in stable but critical condition.

The Train Wreck Theory

While Bret Michaels' condition remains stable but critical, ratings for Celebrity Apprentice have gone up since he was hospitalized. 

I attribute the increase to the train wreck theory – that when something bad happens, there is that almost morbid curiosity to watch. Hopefully in Bret's case, there will be a happy ending and by happy ending I don't mean the kind you get from a masseuse, although I wouldn't mind getting one myself.

Even though his Apprentice team did crap and he was probably the worst on the team, Bret wasn't fired from last night's episode. NBC must be giddy over that – I'm sure if they could re-edit the whole season to show Bret winning, they probably would.

Motherchuck and all the trailer trashy hos lining up to be in Rock Of Love 4 are rooting for Bret's speedy recovery.
