Back in March, Larry King suffered a health emergency and in April we were lead to believe it was heart-related. Turns out that was not the case. The legendary talk show host told Extra he suffered a stroke and that he was in a coma for several weeks after it.
It has been a long road to recovery and he is still not 100%. In fact, he was in a wheelchair when he spoke the entertainment news show because he still does not have full use of his left foot. However, doctors say that he is expected to be walking again by Christmas.
Since his health scares, several people filled in for him on Ora TV’s Larry King Now. However, he did return to his show sometime in September.
A few weeks ago, he interviewed fellow stroke survivor, Timothy Omundson, and the host mentioned that he had a stroke. The way King talked about it, I thought it was no big deal. Now we know, it was more serious than he led on.
Thankfully he is on the mend and was able to celebrate his 86th birthday on November 19th with friends and family.
