"You couldn't do anything. I was in [a] fetal position, lying on the bed," he explained."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," Sajak told Faris."In the background, I could hear my wife and daughter talking.
Although doctors were unsure of what caused Sajak's condition, his surgery turned out to be a success. He has since fully recovered and returned to his post onwhich he has hosted for the last 40 years."I'm as good or bad as new, and that's great," he toldSajak added:"I still have my wits about me.
