afternoon dress hardest morning nap stiff took woke work
This morning it was all right. I woke up stiff. I did some work and it made me feel better. Took a nap and it was a little stiff. It was more stiff when I woke up this afternoon than this morning. I said, 'Hey, just let it go.' That was the hardest thing for me, to not dress up and play.

I felt bad. It was far from what they assumed it to be.
