Take Allieve.

Today I got up early and did my washing and other chores and took a nap in the early afternoon. The pain returned. I realized why the pain was there while I slept.

Don't laugh. nono

I now realize the entire issue started a few weeks ago when I acquiesced more of the bed to Rocksus. I was literally on the right side of the bed and because my right leg no longer had any more of the bed, I simply cantilevered my right leg off the bed. I'd been doing this for weeks now. Because there was no support under my leg to take the weight of my leg which was literally airborne, the tendons of my knee were holding my leg up in the air, putting the support of holding my leg on the patella tendons.

I'm taking back the majority of the bad and Rocksus will just need to curl-up into a tighter ball as he once did.

Lately, he's been in the habit of sleeping on his back with his lower half spread eagle and taking up the majority of the bed and that's probably when this all started. Hmm

Betty Boop does this too, and it's been a long hard slog to train her to stay at the low end of the mattress and sleep down there.
Sometimes I wind up cuddling next to Karen in my sleep but on a couple of occasions Karen has woken up to find me shoved off to the side because Boops decided SHE gets Karen, not me.

Fiona Kitty always sleeps at the bottom end of Karen's mattress...or my grandmother's ottoman stool.
