She didn’t even blink when he hauled the hoist into position, and told her in no uncertain terms that she could flash those furious eyes all she wanted, but she was going to be out of that feather bed she found so damn comfortable and given a bath as her smelly body was offensive and the source of complaints from the other patients.
Noble effort! Great story and a surprising ending. ๐๐ I don’t think I could do it.

Thanks Jen.
