Video: Whoopi Goldberg updates viewers on how Barbara Walters is doing after heart surgery

http://culturemap.com/site_media/uploads/photos/2010-03-25/Whoopi_Goldberg_Barbara_Walters_Justin_Bieber_The_View.350w_263h.jpgA lot of us have been watching Barbara Walters on television all of our lives and I know I’d like to watch her for awhile longer.

So it’s nice to hear that the 80-year-old legendary newswoman is recovering nicely from heart surgery that took place last week – a few days after she announced on the air that she would be undergoing a procedure to have a heart valve replaced.

Whoopi Goldberg (pictured with Barbara and singer Justin Bieber) told viewers this morning that Barbara wanted to thank everyone for their good wishes: “She’s very touched and appreciative. The surgery went well and her doctors are very pleased with the outcome. She’s recovering as expected.”

Barbara has not only received tons of cards, emails, presents etc from family, friends and fans, she’s also heard from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, among others.

She is not yet having visitors.
