Roseanne Barr fears dying during surgery on 'damaged' heart

Roseanne Barr is scared she could "die on the surgery table" after being told she has a "damaged" heart.

The 73-year-old comedienne has decided to look for another doctor after being given a warning about her health because she doesn't think it makes "sense" for her to get fit and have any sort of operation to repair her organ as she'd rather just deal with the consequences later.

Speaking on her Roseanne Barr Podcast, she said: "This doctor says I have to go get my heart checked out because it's damaged.

"So now I'm so p*****. Because I'm like, I need a new doctor.

"He's always sending me to other doctors to check me out. And I'm like, why do I have to go find something wrong when nothing's wrong and then get in shape just so I can have surgery and die on the surgery table?

"I mean, it doesn't make any sense. I would rather not get ready for any sort of surgery ever again in my life and just, you know, get a heart attack or a stroke and then just be put into the home. What do they call that place? Hospice."

Last year, the former Roseanne star spoke of the string of injuries she had suffered while working on her garden in Texas, singling out a time she got "trapped" in her tractor by a falling tree branch.

She told FoxNewsDigital: "I'm doing a lot of mowing. I've got a really fantastic tractor out here, and I'm mowing. The only problem is I don't clear the trees quite as good as I should, and I'm always hitting a tree and knocking it over, and it always hits me in the head.

 

"So, I've had several injuries recently. I had this one tree, I guess it was two nights ago, I knocked it and a great big old branch fell right on my head and trapped me in my tractor.

"So I knew I had to get out of there, and it weighed about a hundred pounds."

Roseanne prayed to God that she would be able to get herself out of the situation and summoned all of her might to "flip" the fallen branch over.

She said: "I was like, 'Oh, I'm 72 years old,' but I just said my mighty prayers that always work. I said, 'Come on God, I am 72 years and I just want to be able to harness all this strong Russian energy that I know I still have in there if you're with me.' And I just flipped it."

There had been talk of Roseanne relocating to Florida, but she has now decided that a permanent move to the Sunshine State is not for her because of the intense heat,

She said: "I love it down [in Florida]. I really do, and I was considering doing it, but then there was this one day that was so damn hot. And I [was] just like, 'I think I'd rather burn in hell than live here in the sun.' It was so hot. I mean, Texas is hot, too, but oh my God. I like to go to a place where you can smoke cigarettes in the summer. I couldn't even smoke a cigarette over there, and I can't have that."
