I'm here.

Still breathing. Still have a bum knee. Still haven't done a single part of my physical therapy regimen to help my knee out. I look at the papers she gave me every single day, and have not yet done a single stretch or exercise.

Slept like shit last night. Again.

Because my knee was bothering me all night.

Because I haven't done any of my PT stretching or strength building exercises.

The cycle continues.

When I went to PT, at my first appointment after giving me some exercises, the PT looked at me and sternly said "you will do these tonight and you will do them every night." I'm still grateful because I did, and it helped. I don't do them anymore (and should), but she and her counterpart got me going again.

Do your exercises, goobster.

The weird thing is that I DO my exercises religiously for my Tennis Elbow, that was cured about two years ago.

It's the exercises that keep it at bay, and keep my arm pain free.

And yet I have not been able to make the metal leap to adding in my knee exercises.

Man.... I am such a derp... it's embarrassing.

UPDATE: Did my stretches this morning. Also set up my exercise bike yesterday, so I can begin using it this weekend for the cardio part of my exercise regimen.
