Pat Sajak discusses his emergency surgery. He believed he was going to die from the pain.

A month after undergoing emergency surgery for a blocked bowel, “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak spills the beans.
In his first interview since the operation, Sajak told “Good Morning America” that he felt he would die moments before the surgery.
In November, the game show host began to endure “excruciating” agony while out for a morning stroll with his daughter. He was doubled over in pain hours later, about to enter surgery.
“I was lying on the bed in the fetal position,” he explained. “They try to treat your pain with numerous medications. And none of it – none of it – worked.”
Later, he said, his physicians gave him a medicine that took away his pain.
“All of a sudden, I wasn’t thinking about the discomfort,” he explained. “I just got these amazing pastels and faced flowing out of it.”
