Dad sleeps with his calves and feet up on a wedge pillow to prevent his feet from getting bed sores. Basically, a wedge is a 2-foot long foam ramp. The lowest end of the “ramp” is slightly under Dad’s rump, and his heels hang over the higher edge.
Get that picture in your mind’s eye. (See photo below. And, no, those aren’t Dad’s legs.)
It was late morning, time to get up, so Sally Thompson, Audrey Walters, and I were chit-chatting with Dad. Audrey started pulling the wedge out from under him, but she was struggling because it remained wedged under his bottom.
So I grabbed a corner to help, and we pulled together until, hmph! the wedge finally came loose.
“It’s a boy, Mr. Pete!” Sally declared and we all laughed.
Then she quickly added, “It’s Sponge Bob!” We broke up! 🤣
