5:30 AM
Spencer reids alarm goes off, and wakes him. He wakes up in pain like he does most mornings, but today is worse than the others. He was up all night tossing, and turning because his legs hurt like hell. He doesn't even remember falling asleep but he assumes he must have.
I shouldn't have pushed myself so hard yesterday
He tries to get out of bed but he yelps and falls to the floor in pain
"Holyshit! "
Spencer shouts that hurt a lot it feels like his legs are cramping starting at his knees and radiating up and down the length of his leg
Maybe I should go take a bath. Spencer pushes himself up onto the bed. He braces himself to walk to the bathroom.
I shouldn't have pushed myself so hard yesterday training with Garcia. Ugh maybe I don't want abs like Morgan.
He grabs his phone. I should probably tell Hotch, I'm going to be late. He send a text off to Hotch
He pushes himself off the bed and hurries to the bathroom as fast as he can. Ow ow Jesus ow.
He starts the bath, and puts it as hot as he can handle. It'll help sooth the pain. He goes to the bathroom cabinet, to get pain meds, and Epson salt for the bath.
Spencer puts the pill in his mouth, and swallows it without water. He pours a good amount of Epson salt in the tub.
He takes off his clothes, and immediately gets in the tub.
"oooh yeah" Spencer groaned "I needed this" It's very relaxing. Spencer thinks, he could go back to sleep.
He stays in the tub for 30 minutes, till his fingers, and toes start to get pruned.
Ah I should have probably, have got my clothes before, I went into the bathroom. Spencer thinks, while pulling the drain on the tub. He pushes himself out of the tub, and grabs a towel to wrap around his body.
The bath helped the pain a bit but, damn do my legs still hurt. Spencer thinks as he pushes through the pain, and gets dried off. He goes out and gets dressed, in his most comfortable clothes that are suitable for work. They are beige cargo pants, and his favorite purple sweater.
I wonder If a knee brace would elevate the pain. He goes to the cabinet in the bathroom, with all his medical items, and pulls out knee braces, for both of his knees.
He slips on his mismatch socks, they are purple polkadot, and orange Whales. He then slips on his knee braces under his pants, and finally, he puts on his black converse.
He stands up. Ah a little better. He grabs his bag, and gun as he leaves his house.
