In his first interview since surgery, Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak opened up about the terrifying blocked bowel emergency he faced last month. During a morning walk with his daughter in November, Sajak experienced excruciating pain. Hours later, he was in agony, and doctors determined surgery was needed.
Sajak recalled the pain was unbearable, despite multiple medications. Finally, one medication provided relief. “I wasn’t dying—just feeling the effects of the meds,” he joked, adding that the surgery was a complete success. Thankfully, he’s on the mend and feeling better.
