Today’s Al Roker takes stock of a tough health journey

“I have a number of problems, but I feel good, I feel strong and every day I feel a little better,” he added. “I cooked dinner last night. I just feel like it’s going to be a bit of a pain, but there are a lot of people who have to deal with a lot more with a lot less resources. I have a lot of lucky and very lucky to have the resources that I had.”

Roker also took the time to thank his colleagues for their unwavering support.

“You were great coming to the hospital,” he continued. “hoda [Kotb] was actually, I think, made an honorary doctor. She would literally show herself. She did a Hodini, like she’d be right there.”
