Posted on May 24, 2010 @ 10:15AM
In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com Bret Michaels’ sister, Michele Sychak, talked about how Bret is holding up following his traumatic brain hemorrhage, his upcoming promotional schedule, and how thrilled the family are that Bret won Celebrity Apprentice.

“[Bret] looks tired, he is moving slower, but is in good spirits,” Sychak said. “I can get hit by a truck today, no one knows how long they have, he is going to continue to live his life. He isn’t an idiot, if he is compromising himself he will stop. The doctors are saying lets take it easy, lets see what happens.”
When it comes to his grueling promotional schedule over the next few days, and his scheduled tour, Sychak said he is going to try his best to fulfill all of his obligations but is aware of not pushing himself too hard.

“It’s going to be rough, he is going to find out whether he is ready to do this, real fast,” Sychak told RadarOnline.com “We haven’t talked about him going on the tour, but if he can’t do it to the level of expectation, he won’t do it. If he feels he is shorting the fans, it’s something he will take into consideration.

“We've all told him ‘dude you deserve a break, take one,’ we’ve all gone to work when we feel like crap, but its not the flu. But he said it eloquently last night – ‘I cant wait for the other shoe to drop. What are you going to do sit at home & wait?’
“He is going to try the tour and see what happens. The flying back & forth, he is going to see how he feels as far as the schedule is going. He will try to fulfill all the expectations he makes. His motivation comes from within, not outside.”
“Last night was very exciting I had a feeling he was going to win. I think he put a lot of hard work into it. When stuff like this happens you want the high to last a little longer. We were all watching it with our shot glasses ready to toast.
“You can tell he is having trouble walking, that was apparent. He has a significant amount of pain in his back, stiffness. If anyone has gone through the amount of trauma that he has, its gonna take a lot. You’re not running back to the gym after this.

“He looks like he lost weight, but considering the pain he is in, he looks great. You can see the adrenaline keeping him going.
“The Sychak’s are a competitive group, and we were really excited that he won. It was nice to hear Ivanka say what everyone was thinking, that he worked hard and was successful as a project manager, its not a sympathy thing.
“Bret won every project he had. He was the better contestant. I’m glad it came down to those two though, they really formed a bond.”

P.s. Speaking from direct knowledge of Bret, which I am sure you have never even been in the same room with him. He is a better man than you could even hope to be. You are a wanna be and a disappointment to your family. Have a nice day.

Jackball, you are a pathetic, bitter, lonely loser. Get a life buddy. Kharma is a great thing, and you have some bad headed your way. Find something productive to do you fat, bald, ugly waste of space.

Seems like he should stay home for the summer and spend what precious little time he has left with his two young daughters.

I understood why he wanted to finish the Apprentice but I agree, now is the time to rest and take time off and just enjoy his children. Yes it's real hot here now but he can maybe take the kids to Hawaii and have some fun and relax.

Flying is the worse thing that he can be doing right now, there are so many things that could take its toll on him. Many people suffer blood clots for sitting so long on a plane, much less the cabin pressure. He needs to say no, and rest.

I have to agree with that part. It was a blood clot suffered after an injury & then flying home that contributed to my hubby's death. The blood clot wouldn't go away & when he got another illness the two combined were too much for him.

100% agree. he'll be more refreshed after some rest esp. in the summer. I want him to be with us a while and if he can just rest some that will help in the long run.

He is gonna push himself too hard and then he is gonna be sorry. He need to rest and STAY home for a couple of months and enjoy summer w/ his girls. He is crazy. Health is more important than touring

I'm glad he won last night. Him and Holly both did exceptional, but now both charities raised a large amount of money. That was great that Snapple donated 250 grand to each of their charity. It was a great show this year, glad he is better.

he had a brain hemmorage and a mini stroke and he wants to tour. Either he faked this entire thing for apprentice ratings or hes a blazing moron
