'I have less of a fear of dying now,' says Larry King on what he's learned since suffering a major stroke last May
The award-winning interviewer suffers from drop foot, a side effect from the stroke that caused weakness in his left foot, and uses a wheelchair and walker. Some moments are harder than others.
“I get mad,” King admits. “When I have to be helped into a chair it’s like, ‘Come on.’ But I try to rely on my sense of humor. I think you live longer if you laugh a lot.”And surviving such a health scare also brought King to terms with his own mortality. “I have less of a fear of dying now,” says the father of five . “I’m 86 and it is what it is. I just want to keep working until the end. I’d like to die at work — I’ll retire right there!”“I’m very proud of what I do,” he says. “And I’m a good father — nothing beats parenthood. There’s an element of pinching myself every day. Look at what I’ve come through. All in all if you look at it, I’ve had a blessed life.
