This has been the hardest one yet and you know Ive had my share of surgeries.
Roker wasfirst hospitalizedin 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 wasreleased againon Dec. 8.
He also missed the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting.
I made dinner last night.
Im very fortunate and very blessed to be able to have the resources Ive had.
