Lack of sleep and the knee

Today has been a harder day for my knee. It probably has something to do with the lack of sleep and a very intense PT session that worked my knee really hard.

I had a horrible time trying to go to sleep last night. I fell asleep for about 20 minutes and woke up. There was a movie Alicia turned on called "Dirty." It was about 2 corrupt cops. It was a not good movie but was unable to turn it off or go to sleep with it on. I just laid there and tried to fall asleep which did not work. I ended up taking the puppies outside a couple times (just to be sure they would not go in their crate). I also brought Ashlie into bed with us and all she did was twist and turn all night. I finally took her back to her bed and looked at the clock. It said it was 1:20. All I could think about as I finally drifted to bed was I had to wake up in 4 hours.

I woke up this morning to a very sore knee. I was unable to walk on it without a large limp. I limp on the knee now but this was a big limp. I looked over at my wife and she was just sleeping away (she slept for at least 8 hours). I went in to take a hot shower and try to loosen up my knee. I ran out of hot water before I was ready and when I got out, my beautiful bride was still in bed. She did get up to wake Bug up but nonetheless, still in bed. I hobbled back into the bathroom and got ready for the day.

All day I was on my feet. I know that if you ask Kelley (my administrator) she would probably disagree because she walked in while I was on the computer making a "pop quiz" for math. I got done with school and went to the park to feed the ducks. I ended up carrying Ashlie around which added another 20 some pounds to the knee. Then off to my parents for dinner. Got home and man this knee is sore. Now I am ready to go to bed because with the sore knee and lack of sleep, there is nothing that sounds better now.
