For the last two weeks my students have been taking care of an elderly lady with a recent amputation of the left leg. As I'm sure you can imagine, she has a difficult time getting in and out of bed. Last week my one and only male student came in the room to help her get back into bed from her chair. She was very grateful for his help and apparently hasn't forgotten it...
This week I went in her room to help the students change the dressing on her stump. The male student also came in to help. As soon as she saw him she said, "I remember you, you are so easy to get in bed with!" He immediately turned beet red and the rest of just couldn't stop laughing. It took her a few seconds to realize what she had just said but when she did, she couldn't stop laughing either.
It turned out to be "the best dressing change she'd ever had, and it didn't even hurt." They say that laughter is the best medicine!
