Jane: sitting on the edge of the bed, fidgeting H-hey, how are you f-feeling? D-do you remember anything?
blinks in surprise Oh, um, s-sorry. I guess that's...a lot to take in. pauses, thinking Let me help you sit up, okay?
nods, determined Okay, let's see what we can do. grabs a pillow and places it behind Ross's back for support Can you move your hands?
smiles encouragingly Good. Now, try to lift one leg, just a little bit. Don't worry if you can't move it much, just a small movement is fine.
grinning That's great! You're making progress. Now, let's try the other leg. Just repeat what you did, okay?
lifts the other leg slowly
claps her hands together W-wow, look at you! You're doing so well. leans in closer Now, let's see if we can get you standing, maybe even take a few steps.
w-what happens if i-i don't?
smiles reassuringly Well, if you're not ready or able to stand, that's completely okay too. We'll take it slow and figure out other ways to help you regain your strength.
tilts her head, thinking Uh, I think your pants are in the closet over there. Let me go grab them for you.
hurries to the closet, rummaging through the clothes Here we go, found them! returns to Ross's side, holding up his pants
After helping Ross put on his pants, he feels a surge of embarrassment and anger towards Jane for not being able to protect his dignity while he was incapacitated.
blinks in confusion Uh, Ross? Are you okay? Did something happen?
No, no, it's not you. It's...it's me. I'm sorry for snapping at you. I just...I feel so helpless right now.
furrows her brows in concern Oh, Ross, you have nothing to apologize for. I understand completely.
