A Gentle Push

Whoa. Wait a second... my toes just twitched? I was flat on my back, propped against a dark toy car on this soft cushion. I tried bending my knees. They bent! Smoothly. Carefully, I pressed one hand against the smooth roof of the car beside me and gave a tiny nudge. The car rocked, just an inch, rolling against the lemon-patterned pillow. I did that! I can actually move. I tilted my head, looking up at the high back of the couch, resting my arm against the car to catch my balance.
