Pope’s recipe to heal his painful knee? A shot of tequila

ROME — Doctors have prescribed a wheelchair, cane and physical therapy to help heal Pope Francis’ bad knee. The limits on his mobility have spurred a predictable round of media speculation about his health and a future conclave, but a close collaborator recently said the pope is “better than ever” and is undergoing two hours of physiotherapy a day. “He’s in very good health and the same lucid reflection as always,” La Plata, Argentina Bishop Victor Manuel Fernandez tweeted May 14 after seeing the pope. For everything else, he’s better than ever.” Francis recently pulled out of a planned two-day trip to Lebanon next month, citing the knee problem, but the Vatican has confirmed he will travel to Congo and South Sudan, as well as Canada, in July.
