Ryan talks to Bret Michaels after the finale

Bret was one of the surprise guests on yesterdays American Idol finale. He and Ryan talked about his performance, and also his ongoing recovery from a brain hemorrhage. Bret described the feeling when it happened as instant, a paralysis, like a migraine times ten, and knowing immediately it was bad. He talked about his family being a focus for his will to survive, and the importance of getting immediate treatment. His sense of humour was intact, and listening to him joke with Ryan about what he was watching not even be good porn, it’s hard to imagine how seriously ill he’s been.
