In November, Sajak underwent emergency surgery to correct a blocked intestine. During his absence from work, Vanna White, the longtime letter-turner on “Wheel of Fortune,” stepped in to host. Now that Sajak has had time to recover from the life-threatening health scare, he is back in the studio and says he is “feelin’ great.” “I’ve actually felt ridiculously good for several weeks,” Sajak said in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “I’ve been back in the studio actually, doing shows. Even spinning the wheel and, you know, nothing has popped. So I think it’s OK.” Sajak recalled the day that he returned home from a walk with his daughter and experienced such “horrific pain” in his stomach that he went to the emergency room. “I didn’t know what it [was] — but within two and a half hours, I was in surgery,” he said. “It was that quick and intense.” Doctors diagnosed Sajak with a blocked intestine and whisked him away into emergency surgery. The game show host, trying to cope with the pain, recalled the medical staff giving him various pain-relieving drugs, but nothing worked. “You couldn’t do anything. I was in [a] fetal position, lying on the bed,” he said. “They try to give you various drugs for the pain. And none of it — none — was working. And then they gave me something, I couldn’t even tell you the name of it, but suddenly, I wasn’t thinking about the pain. I just had these beautiful pastels and lovely faces coming out of it.” Poster Comment: It sounds almost like Pat was tripping on LSD. LOL Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
