Two things. No pain in the arm, yeah you got Well.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
When I was at the doctors yesterday, I got the
flu shot and I wasn't planning on getting it. The uh,
well if you're there, Well that's what he said. When
I was there, He's like, hey, have you got your
flu shot yet? And I was like, do you see
it in your records? He said no, and I said,
he said, well, today's the day. I was like, oh, God,
damn it. But I don't want it to wreck me.
But I've had no I've had no reaction to it.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
How about the reason you went to the test?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
So they believe that, well, they believe we have to
do a little bit of testing. But he believes it's
one of two things. We've ruled out the cyst. Oh
that there's not a cyst back there, so that part,
that part we've ruled out.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So we believe it's one of two things.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
There goes that Baker Street. They were going to write.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The no no, But you know, you know what's interesting,
it's not really called a Baker's cyst.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It is a it's some other.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
It's it's got another name, but I think people call
it Baker's because.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, the doctor who really looked into it had the
last name Baker, and it was easier to say than
the name, so they just went with Banker exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So I learned that yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The it is a it is. They believe one of
two things. Either a and it's some kind of It's
not like a like a full blown tear, so more
of like a like almost like a little rip or
an abrasion or something in either of the meniscus.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Uh oh, what do you mean? Uh oh?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Does that lead to surgery?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
No? No, not in every case, not an athlete, not
in every case. Not true. He did ask if it
happened from playing, if I noticed it's worse after playing, Hock.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I say that that could screw you up on the ice.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, you don't think coast guard Kurt's out
of the don't.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Worry about it. He'll get a four prong cane. It'll
be fine.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
The Hey, I don't know, did you score a goal
on Saturday night?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
The Uh no, no, But so it's either a some
kind of an abrasion or some kind of like maybe
like a terror, a little flip of the meniscus, or
the I have some cartilage problems in there.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And what can you do about that? Well, what we're
trying write? Surgery? Sorry, only on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, oh, Saturday morning surgery.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
No, I would do it Friday afternoon. I would do
it Friday afternoon. A lot of doctors work Friday afternoon.
This one would my doctor would, he'd take me right
in there. Oh, he would do it.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Is he a surgeon?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Say again?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
The guy that you see, is he a surgeon too?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I don't know. I don't know. He cleans my teeth.
I don't know, now that you mentioned it, I don't
I assume he is.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
You can't like he has an office, but I know
he also works out of the hospital.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Is he just a general practitioner?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
What's the special I don't like you're sayings.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
No, what I'm saying like, okay, a regular general practitioner
cannot operate on you.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
The I don't know she's done surgery. I think I
have no idea. If not, I'm go seeing my Uh.
I'll go see the orthopedic surgeon. Uh. The guy was
telling you about doctor and Nunziata, I'll go see him. Hey,
he doesn't think that I'm there yet, he'd doesn't think
that I'm there?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So what kind of further testing do you need to do?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well, so you know, here's the problem is that if
you so there is some swelling, right, so if you
drain the swelling, they'll put a quarter zone shot in there,
which is good, which I love a cortizone shot.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Cortizone shot, you could jam your knee right into it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Say again, its aid, but it could be a band
aid for things to heal. Right, So the but the
problem is if it's a cartilage problem, cortizone shots have
a degenerative whatever that word is effect on cartilage.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh, so that could make it worse.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, so I don't want that. So we're gonna wait.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So right now, I've I had to stop on the
way home and pick up my the thing that I
should have on either a when it hurts.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Or knee brace. Brace.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
No, it's not, No, it's not it's not a brace.
What are you calling it?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It's gause caause, God, it's not gauze. No, it's not
a brace, because.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
You like, I'm dying borrowed Friday, what is it?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
No, my kid's in a boot. I told you that
the Yeah, no, he's in a boot. He also didn't
do well on midterm.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
The either here or there? What did you pick up?
I had to stop a walker? What is it? The
longer you stole, the more we guess the no.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well, because I'm trying to tell you the.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Why did you get the one with the like my
mother in law has the wheels and it's got the
little chair on it.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
The you gotta be careful. You gotta be careful with those.
A buddy of mine's dad, he's an older gentleman. He
was seated in the walker that has the seat. Yeah,
and I don't know if it was a buddy or
a wife tried to push him and he hit like
a like a thing, the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
He slipped back and he was on the hot cement. Yeah.
They had yeah, lift as sist or something.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
What did you get?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Is it just a knee scooter? The okay, come on,
come on.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
No, I'm trying to tell you, but you guys, you
guys keep interrupting.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's not a brace. It is a sleeve for your knee.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yes, so I have to no braces, No, no, no,
A brace is you guys don't know the difference. A
brace is completely different a braik. There's no there's no.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Slides on.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yes, and but.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Here's the difference. Here's the difference. I have no structural damage.
So that's why I don't need a brace on the
police if there was structural mild support. So now I
don't feel like.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
So the sleeve is going to fix your problem.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Well, it will adds some compression to the knee. It'll
add some compression to the knee, because what we're trying
to stop is when there's when they're swelling like that,
a lot of the a lot of the fluid, if
you will, kind of goes to the back of the knee.
And that's what kind of that's why everybody thinks it's
(06:05):
not for me. But in general doctors go Baker cyst
because that liquid goes to the back of the knee,
right and could fill up the cysts so that you'd
want to keep that compression from pushing it to the
I will finish pushing it to.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
The back of the knee.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So I got a Now he did ask if he
said there are some people that think like there's like
there's copper fibers in some of these sleeves. He's like,
some people think it's just mental mumbo jumbo, and some
people believe that there's some healing effect of copper.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Look out golf game. So I got the coppers. But
now the oh god, I gotta update the post. But
but here's so, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
He recommended that I get the brand copper fit. Right. Well,
they didn't have that at CVS, but CBS does have
a cop sleeve.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
So I got the CVS brand.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Compared to the active ingredients and the copper fit right,
it's just their their version of it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yes, it's probably also half the price the well it was.
It was actually less than half the price. But I
did go on Amazon and get the copper fit.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Why you bought one last night?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Because I don't know if the one from CVS good
because you want to I don't need I don't need
one on the other on the other knee. So I
did pick up a I put it in my Amazon.
It'll be here, I think in two days, the copper
fit uh knee sleeve.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
But this is the one you actually got last night? No,
that's copper fit. I thought you got it last night. No,
I got a CVS brand last night.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh that is the cop So what do they call
the CVS one? A CVS copper sleeve.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Copper sleeve knee, old man, you know a lot of
it's not it's not. Oh no, I know you're saying,
old man. But you know there's this the one you got,
the copper infused fiber. Yeah, that's me.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, copper copper compres compressions. Do you spring for the
odor resistant fabric? No?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I did not. No, I did not.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
My knee is clean as a matter of fact, when
I got home. If I can address something else. When
I got home, I took a shower and then I
put the sleeve on and then I was like, oh crap,
I haven't done the teas yet. But apparently if you
do the teas without having your hair styled, uh, people
get really pissy. Like people live in these ivory towers
(08:38):
where their hair is just beautiful all the time.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
You have to get larger, extra large, large or jumbo.
I guess the No, No.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Wut they give you a size called jumbo. That's rude.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I mean there are fat people out there. The no.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
No, we measured my knee, yeah, and I got the
I got the large.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Oh you did a consultation at CVS. No, the doctor
did it. Oh okay, I thought maybe.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But he said, get the sleeve. And then he pulled
up on his on his computer. He said, get the
copper fit. So I said, okay, And so I saw
in the box. I was like, what size am I?
He goes, well, let's measure. Let's measure your knee. So
the last time, so I wore the sleeve yesterday from
when I got home until until I watched the I
(09:22):
took it off during the Yankee.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
And that's it. That's all you have to do is
just where.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
The technically I should say I took it off during
the Dodger game because they're the only team that played.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Say get that's.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
All you have to do is just wear that sleeve.
And that's going to and huh and I hate some
ice cream. Oh no, But wearing the sleeve is going
to remedy your problem.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
If there is, if there is like a small possible
tear or abrasion in the meniscus or in the cartilage,
that it'll hold everything in place and give it a
chance to heal.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So, because the last time I was told.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I did not wear this, I'm not wearing the sleeve currently. Yeah,
I'll wear it at home.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Why don't you wear it here. Are you afraid of mock?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No? But I know what do I sit? Look what
I'm doing?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You still want to do the compression off?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And I come back?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You still need the compression.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Well it doesn't hurt right now, but it's been mornings
where it does come on. Oh it hurt like hell
when I got out of bed today.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, well, because you're not doing support right now. No.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I took it off during the Dodgers game, but they
did nothing from the couch to the bed.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Well, tell you not to sleep in those things, right, No,
you're not supposed to.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, so I didn't thank you so, And I don't
want to wear a sleeve all day.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
This is like that doesn't seem healthy, much better than
you're getting a new tattoo.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
And because the last time I was told, oh, we're
not there yet, I was put in physical therapy.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh I think he knows well enough. I'm not going
to physical therapy.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
You just won't go.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I'll go once and then that can't go once.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Oh, but you'll be you'll be good about doing your
at home exercise.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Why do I need to go to physical therapist. I'm
wearing a sleeve and it's it's copper. It's got copper
fibers on it. Oh, I hope thieves don't break into
my house to steal the copper fibers. And so I'm
on my way to healing. Yeah, and then I got
my flu shot. I took a shower, I did my teas,
(11:18):
I had settled in for a good night. I had
some Indian food, and then uh, I watched Freddy Freeman
destroy another night in the Seagull House.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah. No, it was a wonderful day. Wonderful day, all right?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
So, uh, when are you wearing it again when I
get home today? And will you, even though I tell
you please, don't shoot it vertically? Will you film the
teas that way?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Well, you're not gonna be able to see my knee
and the tees.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Are you gonna wear it Friday uptown all the No, Well,
