Kathie Lee Gifford said years of debilitating physical pain became so overwhelming that she reached a point where she felt ready to “go home” to heaven, opening up about one of the darkest periods<\/a> of her life on a new episode of Sean Hannity’s podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I was done,” Gifford said, adding later that she “just wanted to go home to Jesus.”<\/p>\n

The broadcasting legend reflected on the health challenges that nearly broke her spirit during a wide-ranging conversation with Hannity, touching on her decades-long career, Christian faith<\/a>, family and the resilience she found after enduring years of physical setbacks.<\/p>\n

In the process, Gifford opened up about living “10 lives” and surviving the intense physical agony that left her crawling across her floor.<\/p>\n

“And I’ve been so blessed in my life. I had five grandchildren within three years. My son had three, and my daughter had two children, and thus making me a bubby, which is the Yiddish for grandma. And as joyful as that was, I couldn’t even hold them.”<\/p>\n

From a catastrophic medical misdiagnosis<\/a> to harrowing falls that left her pelvis fractured, she revealed how hitting “rock bottom” physically tested and ultimately strengthened her faith.<\/p>\n

“I thought I had the best doctors in the world,” she said. “And they kept saying to me, ‘It’s not your hip, it is your spine.'”<\/p>\n

Gifford disagreed with their assertions, saying she knew her body was telling her a different story. At the time, she couldn’t walk, and a doctor’s misread of an X-ray further delayed treatment.<\/p>\n

“I was crawling to the bathroom by the time I finally had my hip replaced,” she said, recalling that one physician was stunned by the condition she had been living in.<\/p>\n

Gifford said she ultimately made a call to the doctor about her misdiagnosis and threatened to sue.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want anybody else to ever have to suffer like that,” she said.<\/p>\n

Hannity’s full conversation with Gifford is available on iHeart, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other major podcast platforms.<\/p>\n
