Sport 36: Winter 2008

Day 19

Six kind things a nurse will do for you when you're stuck in bed:

1.	Bring in some nail polish and paint your toenails bronze.
2.	Lower the front of your bed so you don't have to piddle uphill.
3.	Shift your pillows again, and again, and again until you are comfortable.
4.	Move everything within reach.
5.	Re-heat your tea so you can eat when you're actually hungry.
6.	Tell you you're eligible for a more extensive menu because you're 'long-stay'
