She writes:

HOW YOU DOIN’? I MISS YOU ALL! As everyone knows, my health has been a hot topic. I’m making progress but it’s just one of those things that’s taking longer than we expected.

I’m a woman of a certain age, and I know enough to listen to my doctors and will return to my purple chair as soon as we all agree I’m ready.

I want to thank all of my staff and our guest hosts for stepping up and stepping in while I can’t be there.

I also want to thank Debmar-Mercury and our stations for being so understanding and supportive while I work my way back. Most of all, I want to thank my fans.

I have heard your prayers and comments and feel all the love! You are everything to me.

I love spending my mornings with you all and I’m doing everything I can to get back to work, but right now Wendy has to focus on Wendy. I love you for watching.

According to Yahoo In a statement released by her show’s production company Debmar-Mercury, it was announced that Williams will continue to be on hiatus through November.

“She is making progress, but is experiencing serious complications as a direct result of Graves’ disease and her thyroid condition,” read the statement.

“It has been determined that more time is needed before she is able to return to her live hosting duties.”

After it was announced she wasn’t coming back yet, the gossip queen was spotted in a wheelchair leaving her Manhattan apartment by the papparazzi, which was published by Daily Mail. This is the first time she’s been seen since being released from the hospital.

As she remains at home, more guest hosts will continue to fill in for her. Michael Rappaport, who is a regular guest of the show, will serve as a guest host for part of the week of Nov. 8.

After him, comedian Bill Bellamy will take over.

Michael Rapaport will fill in as the show’s host for the week of Nov. 8, and a new panel will take over for just Nov. 15.
