He wrote:
“Love of my life got a bit of spring break surgery yesterday. Laparoscopic appendectomy... truly amazing. She is doing great and tougher than ever. Much thanks to medical team at MUSC. They were awesome. By the way she played two hours of tennis with an appendicitis. [sic] Stronger than steel.”
O’Donnell has been open and honest about her health scares. In 2016, she revealed that she was diagnosed with skin cancer around Thanksgiving.
Luckily, the co-anchor was successfully treated and she shared that her melanoma diagnosis had made her extra vigilant about spending time in the sun. Norah Morahan O’Donnell was born on January 23, 1974.
