Bret Michaels is expected to recover from his recent setback involving a "small warning stroke," and hopefully will appear on the May 23 finale of NBC's The Celebrity Apprentice.

Dr. Zabramski, Bret's doctor, addressed the rocker's current condition saying:

    "I realize Bret wants to make a full recovery so that he can be active with his family, attempt to attend the finale of Celebrity Apprentice and especially get back on the road to continue making music. Without a doubt he is very determined to get healthy and make a 100% recovery."


After feeling numbness in his arm, Michaels, 47, went back to Barrow Neurological Institute, and that's where it was determined that he suffered a minor stroke. Doctors also discovered that he has a hole in his heart. Fortunately, both conditions are treatable.

As for the Apprentice finale, Bret is up against Holly Robinson Peete in the final boardroom showdown. His rep says, "Bret will be there unless his doctors tell him otherwise. We're cautiously optimistic that he will attend."
