The “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak is currently detailing every gory detail of his emergency surgery, which was performed a month ago to repair a blocked intestine.
In his first interview following the procedure, which he gave to “Good Morning America,” Sajak disclosed that he had thought he was going to die right before the surgery.
The game show host stated that he initially experienced “excruciating” pain in November when strolling with his daughter in the morning. A short while later, he was hunched over in pain and preparing for surgery.
He said I was curled up in the fetal position on the bed. “They make an effort to provide you different painkillers. Also, none of it was working.
After being given a prescription by his doctors, he said that the agony was suddenly erased from his memory.
I suddenly wasn’t thinking about the pain, he claimed. Simply said, I saw beautiful faces and beautiful colors rising from it.
I could hear my wife and daughter talking in the distance. He said, “They were standing next to me, but it felt like they were miles away.” “They were talking to each other. Without being morbid, I also recollect thinking, “I guess this must be death.” This must be how dying feels like.
He stated that at the time, he was worried about his wife and kids and felt bad for them because they would “had to deal with the repercussions.”
Sajak, of course, lived through the procedure, dispelling his fears that he would perish.
It turned out that I was only high, he said while laughing.
Sajak was described by “Good Morning America” as describing the treatment as “completely effective.”
He claimed that he is not forced to change his way of life because doctors were unable to determine an underlying cause for the intestinal blockage.
I’ve genuinely felt incredibly good for a few weeks, Sajak remarked.
Well, I’ve resumed my studio work on performances. You comprehend that nothing has popped even after spinning the wheel. Thus, everything is fine in my perspective.
Sajak’s longtime co-host Vanna White took over while he was recovering. Sajak played off his worry that she might succeed him as the show’s main host in the interview.
I did learn that she likes to host, and I’m a little worried,” he said.
Sajak laughs around, but he seems at ease in his role on “Wheel of Fortune.”
He proclaimed, “I’m still thinking clearly. I will continue selling vowels for a very long time since they left that in place.
