A noodle is a type of pasta that is soft and limp, so the simile is saying that her backbone felt soft and limp, like a noodle.
Given the statement "This morning, she tried to get out of bed but the blankets and pillows were in the way; she could only flounder gracelessly up to her elbows, and her backbone felt limp.", is the statement "This morning, however, blankets and pillows thwarted her; she could only flounder gracelessly up to her elbows, her backbone like a noodle." wrong?
