I sometimes change the direction in which my body lays in bed, without moving the bed.
My mother is very hard of hearing and once entered my bedroom when I had the blinds drawn, in the middle of the day,
as I was laying down with a headache.
She wanted to ask me a question that could not wait.
She was used to my head pointing north, but I was at that time sleeping with my head pointing south.
In the dim half-light from the doorway, I could see her leaning over, softly addressing my feet, in the darkness.
I spoke: "Mom, I'm down here. "
She heard me speak, but she couldn't make out the words. " What? "
I repeated myself, trying to avoid actually sitting up, because movement makes my migraine worse.
" MOM! I'm down HERE! "
She leans closer to my feet. " I'm sorry, I can't understand you. "
I sat up....she still didn't notice.
I tapped her on the elbow.
She jumped out of her skin.
