"Denise, I'm leaving now," Tom told the jumbled mass of covers piled on the bed. "I've left my number on the refrigerator door and I've left April the car keys and a list of instructions for your care."
Tom heard a muffled response from underneath the covers. He began to pull back the covers and unearthed a very unkempt face beneath.
"I don't want you to go," Denise begged, as tears fell from her puffy eyes. "Please, don't leave me Tom. You know how much I hate being dependent on someone and now you are leaving me in the hands of a nineteen year old. Do you really think she can handle the responsibility? Just say you got sick and couldn't go."
"Honey, we've been over this a thousand times. I've already taken off two weeks and we can't afford a live in nurse. Your niece is out of college this summer, so you are just going to have to make the best of it. Look, I know it's been difficult for you since the accident, but there are a lot of people out there worse off than you are. Once, your arms are healed you will be up and at 'em again. So why don't you get out of bed and try to keep active, so you won't be so out of shape later on," Tom said as he bent down and gave his wife a quick peck on the lips, "and letting someone brush your teeth wouldn't kill you."
Tom stood back up and walked to the bedroom door, then looked back at his wife. "Look, I'll be back before you know it, so you be nice to April, okay?"
"Okay," Denise pouted, "I'll miss you. Hurry back."
After Tom left, Denise wallowed back in her covers. She wasn't sleepy, she was just tired so she lay there listening to April flipping back and forth between MTV and VH1 on the TV. April had come into the room and tried to get Denise to get out of bed and go for a ride, get a bite to eat, or even to get some exercise, but Denise wouldn't budge. She would only say "Leave me alone, I don't feel good. I'm depressed."
Finally, it seemed that April had given up on Denise and the older woman was happy she had exerted her control, even if it was making everyone else suffer with her.
Then she caught a whiff of . . . 'Could it be?' she wondered. 'Yes, it's chocolate.' Denise pondered whether or not she should try to get April to bring her some of whatever it was she was baking, but couldn't bring herself to ask. As more time passed, she began to become angry, because if April was any kind of nurse at all, she would have brought some for Denise anyway.
After an hour passed, Denise's stomach had begun to growl. She had passed from being angry to a state of helpless rage. Denise tried to think of some way to throw a proper temper tantrum, but it was almost impossible to do so without the use of her arms.
Luckily, before she had to resort to such drastic measures, she felt the bed sag as her niece sat down beside her. "Are you under there Auntie? I made some brownies, do you want some?" she asked.
"Yes," Denise replied from under the covers.
"I don't think you are going to be able to eat them with the covers in the way."
Denise began to get angry again. 'What kind of nurse is this, to make me ask for every little thing,' she thought, but bit back her retort. "I can't move my arms April, will you move the covers for me?"
Much to her dismay, April pulled the covers completely off the bed. Denise felt the cool air on her exposed thighs, but without the use of her hands, she was unable to pull down her nightshirt. 'Well, at least I have on underwear," she thought. She looked up at her niece and was surprised to see a chocolate brownie descending toward her face. She opened her mouth to ask to be set upright, but it was quickly filled with the brownie.
"Mmmmphhh---wa-mmmppphh!" The older woman struggled to tell her niece to give her time to chew. However, the young girl forced the brownie in, until the whole thing was in her aunt's bulging mouth.
Denise also discovered the brownie smelled much better than it actually tasted. It was dry and very chewy making it difficult to swallow. She was desperate for liquid, so that she could swallow the dry cake down. Lying down flat on the bed, instead of being upright, made it much more difficult to eat.
"Thirsty?" April asked sweetly.
Denise couldn't speak due to the mouthful of chewy brownie, so she nodded her head vigorously. Then she noticed that April had a glass of milk over her face and had begun to pour. Denise opened her mouth just in time to catch the liquid as it fell. April continued slowly pouring until Denise's mouth was almost full of the white milk and brownie.
Denise swallowed and some went down the wrong pipe. She coughed and sputtered, "What (cough) are you trying to do? (cough) Kill me?"
"I'm sorry. I just did what you asked," April said sweetly.
"Just put the covers back on me and leave me alone," snapped Denise.
"Sure!" Denise put the sheets and covers back on the bed. However, Denise found the young girl once again went overboard, as she firmly tucked the covers in all the way around Denise and left the room again.
The older woman just tried to put up with the efforts of her niece. After all, she was trying so hard to please.
Just when it seemed like things couldn't get worse, Denise felt a rumbling in her gut. 'Oh no! Please don't!' she thought. She tried to will away the discomfort in her gut. However, soon the first cramp hit and she desperately needed to get out of bed. Much to her dismay, she discovered she was trapped by the sheets, tucked in tightly on all sides. "April, April, please help!" she cried, struggling uselessly against the sheets, but, her niece had the door closed and the TV on too damn loud to hear her.
"April - PLEASE - I have to go to the bathroom. It's an EMERGENCY!"
Just as Denise thought she was about to lose it, the door opened. "I was just in here a minute ago. What's so important?" April inquired impatiently.
