Hello everyone. Welcome back to the Fire Escape Pass. It is episode 85. I'm Mike Mahardi, your host, as always. Guess what? All three of us.

Wow. Dan Reichert, Mary Kish. We're here. In the flesh. Well, on a Zoom call, but yeah. First time in two, three episodes. Yeah, you did one with Benny and Ben, and we did one with Manatee. Mm-hmm. Yes, yes. We all, all three of us had an episode off. Yep. Nice and evenly distributed there. Look at us. How we're going to us. Wow, like a nice vacation structure at a corporate company. Yes. And we haven't been busy. Vacation. Nothing has happened to any of us in that time. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. What a relaxing vacation. Yes. I'll start with you, Dan. What house I talked about apparently you informed me that I got details of your surgery wrong.

Let me. Yes. I'll start with you, Dan. I talked about, apparently you informed me that I got details of your surgery wrong.

Let me, let me, let me be clear, A, I don't care.

B, I was talking to Vinnie and Ben, and here's what I told them.

I told them you were A doing a deviated septum surgery, which I can relate to, but that's

part of it.

And then B, you're also getting like 16 different sinus spots straight. Okay, you're close-ish because like it's more that it was sinus stuff and then also while they were in there, they're like, oh, you have a minor deviated septum, we'll just kind of, you know, pick that a little bit. But that was like the most fun... Technically, the surgery was sinus endoscopy, bilateral

maxillary anthraestomy, bilateral anterior ethmoidectomy, nasal septuplasty, that's the deviated septum,

and bilateral submucous resection of my inferior turbinates. Oh, I said nasal septorhinoplasti. That's where I got it

wrong. There's your problem.

Yes. Sorry.

No, they knocked me out and they put a bunch of knives and cameras up my nose into my

mouth and just cut up the whole inside of my head.

And yeah, that was, I'd say the worst four days of my life are the ones following that

in terms of just physical discomfort. And that was really, really bad. I'm not 100% right now, but I think obviously I'm up moving around talking again. I got headphones on my face comfortably here. Can you bring to your nose? You don't have headphones. Yes. What? I have headphones on. On your face is a weird way to phrase it. They're on the sides of my face. For audio listeners, they're on his ears. He's not just putting headphones over. How about that? Yeah. I would have loved if the EMTs, ENTs rather, saw like a miniature version of you in a Waluigi costume conducting your brain when they went up there

was running around or it's just got symbols like the homer monkey yeah that'd be great so okay

what is the recovery time overall like two weeks for something like that i think dvitha set them like a week

or two i'm over two weeks in right now um and so like that's like okay you should be able to go

back to work i just did my first

5K again today. I wasn't able to run for a long time. So trying to get back into that. Still can't swim. Still can't, but most things I can do now. It was just, oh, the first couple weeks, you just got to make sure you don't sneeze. Or if you sneeze, you got to sneeze at your mouth which that is a concept i'd never considered before i was like how the fuck do you do that

do that but But then like,
