PHOENIX (AP) – Poison frontman Bret Michaels has been released from a Phoenix hospital and is expected to make a full recovery after suffering a brain haemorrhage last month, his doctor said. Dr. Joseph Zabramski, chief of cerebrovascular surgery at the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, said he recommended that Michaels wait at least four to six weeks before resuming normal activity.

He declined to say when Michaels could resume touring. Doctors will examine Michaels every two weeks until he's recovered. "This produces a great deal of stress on the body," he said.

Zabramski said Michaels is fully conscious and aware and talking, but he has back spasms and headaches when he tries to walk. The 47-year-old contestant on 'The Celebrity Apprentice' is receiving therapy and will probably continue to suffer from severe pain for another seven to ten days as blood pooled under his brain dissolves.

Michaels is a Type 1 diabetic, which limits the available options to ease discomfort.
