He vividly remembered feeling disconnected from the world, with his wife and daughter\u2019s voices sounding distant. He began to wonder if this was what death felt like, expressing concern for his family\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Sajak survived the surgery, and he humorously admitted that he was simply feeling the effects of the medication, not facing death.

He reassured that he felt great, had resumed hosting \u201cWheel of Fortune,\u201d and had no need for lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n<p>He playfully mentioned co-host Vanna White possibly taking over but remains confident in his role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d host Pat Sajak, in his first post-surgery interview, shared the harrowing experience of his blocked bowel emergency a month ago.
