stretching out left arm in bed
Tried for the third time last night. It means laying on my left side with my left arm straight out to my side. Putting all the pillows but one on the arm to hold it down, usually 4-5. Then roll onto my back and hope like hell the arm stays flat on the bed. The first two times I tried this the forearm immediately went perpendicular to the bed, throwing off the pillows.
