dealing with the Jimmy leg

we couldn't sleep
in the same
bed anymore,
she developed
what we call
the Jimmy leg,
all night long,
her foot and leg shook as if
she was churning
milk into butter
in a wooden barrel.
sometimes the dog
would lie against her
leg, which would
help for a while.
it was
always the left leg,
rarely the right.
