The Birch Show

Look who's here, everybody. What's up? Hey! Slowly but surely getting back on the regular schedule. You look almost coherent and stuff. Yeah, I didn't take a painkiller this morning. So I'm gonna be a real bitch in about an hour. How's the knee feeling? It looks like you have less apparatus on it than you've had last week. I think it's about the same, right? I's the same brace. But, I mean, it seems like it was Ratmore Burt, by the way. I had knee surgery last, not last Thursday, a week ago Thursday, and proudly declared, I'll be in on Monday. I might be a little late. And by a little late, he meant seven days. Well, I was basing it on the first knee surgery, the left one.

And I can't even remember how many days I took off for that one. But this knee, the right knee turned out to be a lot worse than the left one. And the pain on this one has just been so much more. I don't know if I'm just getting softer as I get older or Tom was saying that the meniscus was a real problem because it tore in half.

So there are pins in there.

Wait, or Tom was saying that the meniscus was a real problem because it tore in half.

So there are pins in there.

Wendy,

Wendy,

repeat that sentence.

I have no idea what you just said.

I don't want to.

So at the end of the day,

this one was worse because the ACL was ripped from the femur and the meniscus,

Wendy,

just completely cut in two like this and was dangling

between two bones just like this.

Oh, nasty.

My eyes are closed.

Can you tell everybody how to avoid this surgery?

Yeah, don't start playing soccer when you're 50.

Okay.

Ford, not 50, Joe.
