railings up

"The little gal was trying to roll me to my left side and she just kept pushing until she pushed me out of bed"
Looking at this seventy something stroked out lady (previous CVA not because she fell out of bed) I had a small chuckle - inside of course. I can see this lady with her left hand contractured up to her shoulder, completely flaccid leg thumping to floor as the aid tried to reposition her in the bed and oops rolled her too far and oops again with a thud and a shreek- apparently the aid - a tiny toothpick gal was trying to log roll a tree trunk - who knew the toothpick was so mighty.
First thing the patient actually said to me: "you aren't gonna push me out of bed too are you?"
