According to his doctor, Poison frontman and reality star Bret Michaels has made a miraculous recovery from a near fatal brain hemorrhage just a week and a half ago and has even been released from the hospital! He’s not quite out of the woods yet, though, and has been moved somewhere else, presumably where he’s being watched while he continues his recovery. Earlier reports on Bret’s condition were optimistic, but tentative, with some doctors citing grim statistics for brain hemorrhage survival at just 10-20%. Bret is up, walking and talking, and his doctor calls him “a very lucky person.”

Bret Michaels is headed for a full recovery, his doctor says.

“Mr. Michaels was indeed a lucky person, a very lucky person,” Dr. Joseph Zabramski explained at a press conference, PEOPLE reports.

Michaels is “still very sick right now,” but he has left the hospital.

“He’s improving and I expect him to continue to improve. I really expect that he will fortunately make a 100 percent recovery. He’s just one of those lucky people — 10 to 20 percent who make a complete recovery and can resume all of their normal activities,” Zabramski added.

The Poison rocker suffered a brain hemorrhage on April 21 and was rushed to the hospital. Along with bleeding at the stem of his brain, he had a side effect called hyponatremia, which is a lack of sodium in the body.

The ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ star also had an emergency appendectomy just days before falling ill.

He suffered several setbacks in his treatment, but Zabramski credited Bret’s recovery to his “sheer will to live,” and in a statement made on April 30, described the singer as having “an unbelievable fight in him.”

Yesterday, the star’s sister, Michelle, called in to ‘The Todd ‘N’ Tyler Empire Radio Show’ to discuss her brother’s condition. “He’s so happy that everybody is pulling for him,” she explained. “The fact that he got medical treatment right away, he went immediately and because this is one of the best neurological centers in America — he was very fortunate and I think he will recover quickly, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him back sooner than most.”

There’s more good news about Micheals, but it’s a spoiler for this season of Celebrity Apprentice (below) so if you’re following the show please stop reading now. Ok, so Bret makes it into the final four on the show, according to MSNBC’s The Scoop. The show was of course taped before Bret’s emergency appendectomy and resulting brain hemorrhage (which may or may not be related) and he was fine by outward appearances at the time. He may even make it to the final live taping on May 23. If he’s there, it’s sure to be a big ratings boon to the show. Ratings spiked after Michaels’ health scare. I’m so relieved to hear that he’s doing so well and is back on his feet!
