During her return to TV, the 54-year-old American television host, who was visibly emotional, addressed so many personal issues including the state of her marriage to her husband Kevin Hunter.
As she greeted her audience, Wendy began by saying, “apparently I’m a hot topic!”
“Thank you, I missed you, too Look, honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I hit the block today. I didn’t know whether you would wait for me, whether you would understand. I had no idea what to expect. Thank you so much for waiting for us,” she tells viewers graciously.
Williams then addressed her absence by chronicling her medical issues.
“What had happened was we were supposed to only be off for two weeks for Christmas vacation and towards the end of the weeks, I started to feel thyroid-ish. They’re still adjusting my meds. If you don’t know about thyroid disease, it’s a lifetime thing and they are always adjusting and always doing stuff and it can really screw you over. They are adjusting my thyroid meds, and then the eyeballs attached to the thyroid, which is my Graves’ disease,” she says.
“I always have equilibrium thing with my vertigo and a million other things. And I’m the kind of patient—if I cough, I’m thinking I’m dying. I’ve gotten to that point. I love—I can’t even tell you how many doctors I have, but I want to shout out to each and every one of you. Thank you so much. They push me in there, I get the MRIs and then I get the CAT scans and then they get me running on the treadmill and they’re doing my blood pressure at the same time as my phone is calling from people on the show.”
“I’m happy to tell you that I am doing swell,” she concludes, noting that she’s meditating, taking her medication and exercising for two hours a day, seven days a week.
“Believe me you. I don’t know how this outfit is reading on TV, but mother has not gained a pound,” the candid star notes.
