Barbara Walters Suffering From Chickenpox

2013 hasn’t been a great year for Barbara Walters, co-host of The View television show.

Walters, 83, first cut her head when she had a bad fall and had to be rushed to the hospital. Once there, Walters developed a bad fever that made the doctors wanna hold her there to further monitor her. It was then discovered that Walters had the Chickenpox disease, something people usually get when they’re kids.

“You all know that she fell and cut her head 10 days ago, and then was running a temperature, but it turns out it is all the result of a delayed childhood,” Whoopi said. “Barbara has the chickenpox. She’d never had it as a child. So now she’s been told to rest, she’s not allowed any visitors, and we’re telling you, Barbara, no scratching!”

“We love you. We miss you. We just don’t want to hug you,” Goldberg quipped.

We wish Walters a quick and speedy recovery.
