In a recent interview on “Good Morning America,” Pat Sajak, the beloved host of “Wheel of Fortune,” opened up about his recent health scare and subsequent emergency surgery. It turns out Sajak had undergone surgery for a blocked bowel, an ordeal that left him thinking he was at death’s door.

Sajak recalled the moment the excruciating pain hit him. It happened during a simple morning stroll with his daughter. The pain intensified rapidly, leaving him doubled over and in need of immediate medical attention. The pain was so unbearable that none of the prescribed medications seemed to work.But then, something magical happened. Sajak’s physicians provided him with a special medicine that instantly relieved his pain. Suddenly, he found himself transported to another world, filled with vibrant colors and a sense of peace. He could hear his wife and daughter in the background, although they seemed far away. In that moment, he thought, “This must be death. This must be how death feels.”Thankfully, Sajak’s worries about death were unfounded. It turns out that he was simply experiencing the effects of the medication. “I was merely high,” he chuckled. The procedure was a success, and his doctors assured him that there was no underlying cause for the intestinal blockage. He can continue living his life as he always has.

Sajak expressed his gratitude for his recovery, mentioning that he has been feeling terrific for several weeks now. He has even returned to the “Wheel of Fortune” studio and has been hosting shows without any issues. Sajak jokingly admitted that he’s a bit worried about his co-host, Vanna White, taking over his role. He discovered that she enjoys hosting, and he’s concerned she might steal the spotlight. But rest assured, Sajak is still on his guard and shows no signs of stepping down.

As fans of “Wheel of Fortune,” we can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Pat Sajak is back to his usual self and bringing joy to millions of households every day.
