Al Roker Shares Update After Nearly A Month In Hospital: “It’s Been A Tough Slog”

Today show weather anchor Al Roker paid a virtual visit to the morning news show Monday to share a health update after two recent stints in the hospital. “Listen, it’s been a tough slog,” Roker told his co-workers. “I’m not going to deny it.

This has been the hardest one yet — and you know I’ve had my share of surgeries.” Roker was first hospitalized in November for blood clots in his lungs and leg.

He was released on Thanksgiving day, but returned a short time later due to complications. He was released again last Thursday. “I’ve got a number of issues, but I feel good, I feel strong, and every day I feel a little bit better,” he continued. “I made dinner last night.

I just feel like this is going to be a little bit of a slog, but there are a lot of people who have to deal with a lot more with a lot fewer resources.
