The 47-year-old - who is a type 1 diabetic – underwent an emergency appendectomy just two weeks ago.
He blogged about his recovery, saying he was lucky to be alive.
"They told me that if I had gone on stage like I wanted to, my appendix likely would have ruptured and I could have died," he wrote. "As I write this, I'm feeling pretty bad, to tell you the truth. When you're not planning on having a body part ripped out of you, it can be a shock to the system.
Bret Michaels Still Hospitalized After Emergency Surgery
"While the doctors are amazing in San Antonio, there is just no way around the fact that getting your appendix out HURTS. I have a pretty good threshold for pain, but this one hurts.”
And at last year’s Tony Awards the 80’s rocker was violently knocked on the head by the descending set on the stage he was performing on.
"I have played concerts with broken bones, extremely low blood sugars, the flu, colds, and all kinds of things before," Michaels has said. "I tend to try to perform at all costs."
Michaels’ reps have confirmed the reports but say they have no additional information until further testing is done.

I have alway liked Bret. Being on The Apprentice really made him human and not just somebody on stage. They have problems just like everybody else ..Bret, I know you will do well and be back in no time.

I had no idea who he was when I first saw him on apprentice...but I think he seems like a really nice guy. I sincerly hope this turns out well. Having diabetes from childhood is tough on your body...but his way too young to die.

Many prayers. I am a child of the 80's and yes I went and saw Poison when I was a teen. Loved him then and love him now. I wish him a speedy recovery.
