NEW YORK (AP) — Barbara Walters has the chicken pox.
The television veteran has been hospitalized for more than a week after taking a fall. Doctors wouldn’t release her because she was running a temperature, and now they know why: The 83-year-old news veteran has a disease many people deal with when they are children.
Whoopi Goldberg delivered the news Monday on “The View,” the daytime talk show Walters started. Goldberg delivered an ultimatum to Walters: “No scratching.”
Walters has been transferred to a New York hospital after being in Washington. She fell on Jan. 19 and hit her head, and was hospitalized for observation.
Whoa! Odd.
Ooooh that sucks! Chicken pox are more dangerous as you get older! Not a huge fan of hers but hope she pulls through!
chicken pox is tough when you are older. i had it at 16 and was very sick.
She probably got them from someone that was in the hospital when she wasthere for her fall.
Ouch. Hope she gets better soon
