Griffin said her recovery should take about a month, and she added that she is fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
“I should be up and running around as usual in a month or less. It’s been a helluva four years, trying to get back to work, making you guys laugh and entertaining you, but I’m gonna be just fine.
