"Good girl," Josh said as I took my last bite of jello

Do you feel better now that you fed me?" I asked him.

"Yes, I do, but how are you feeling?" Josh collected the garbage off my table and threw it away while I tried to get comfortable.

I'm tired and grumpy. I can't get comfortable, but I'm afraid to move. I don't want to pull on my stitches, and my whole stomach feels like someone ran me over with a car."

"Good, Emmy would probably appreciate your help more than mine; why don't you help her with a quick washcloth bath before the water cools too much? I will be back in a few minutes. Mary handed him the cloth and left, closing the door behind her.

Drew untied the hack of the hospital gown for me and, after checking the water temperature, got the cloth wet and ran it gently over my back. It felt amazing, and I groaned in pleasure as Drew continued to run the damp cloth across my back before moving on to my arms and legs.

"I had no idea that a damp cloth could feel so good," I said, causing the others to laugh. When Drew finished with the washcloth, he brought everything back to the bathroom and returned with a towel, gently drying me off and tying my gown back together just as Mary returned,
