Figure 11.1
These photos demonstrate how to get out of bed. Note how the top picture
shows that you should use your left hand to support yourself when you are
lying on your right side. Bend your knees and move your feet over the edge
of the bed. Press up with your elbow to lift the upper body while letting your
legs down the bed until you sit over the edge of the bed as demonstrated on
the opposite page. Then stand up straight, using your legs without bending
your back.
