“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I had trouble getting the above information from Jane after lunch, because she seemed on the verge of dozing off several times. She said she got mad at Jeff and Judy this morning because of their negative beliefs. Jeff said maybe the splotches on her feet were infected, and Judy said the drainage from the small ulcer on each hip had increased. Jane finally told them to cut it out. Jeff said he’d like to know where the fever came from.

(The day was very warm — 45 — as I left for 330. The car worked fine. Jane was upset when I got there — although her blotchy feet looked much better. The dark reddish patches are much less extensive. She didn’t go to hydro this morning — with her fever, Jeff didn’t want her to go. She hadn’t slept well last night, and staff had been too busy to help her turn often enough. Yet Jane doesn’t know whether she received a dose of the antibiotic during the night while she may have slept.

(2:45. Jane remembered to tell me that last night two students had watched as an aide checked her catheter and Foley. This in turn reminded her that Jeff had also said this morning that maybe she had an infection from the catheter, “since people always do.” She’d heard nurses say the same thing.

(3:45. Carla took Jane’s temperature. 102.4 — the highest yet. Jane swore again. She was worried about Jeff’s reaction more than the temperature. She’s been drinking a lot of juice.

(This morning I received a very upsetting phone call from Jeff Karder. [...] Jeff doesn’t suggest antibiotics at this time, but told me that the ulcers on Jane’s right knee and left hand won’t heal themselves, and that the new swelling on the top of her right shoulder may turn into another such area. [...] Jeff said an operation would be needed on the knee to correct the condition.

[...] Georgia had told her Jeff had called me, and her version of the call was pessimistic indeed. Jane knew of Jeff’s concerns.

(Jeff suggested that we do nothing at the moment, while he monitors Jane’s condition. [...] But her cheeks are swollen and somewhat blotchy, which Jeff had noticed this morning. [...]

[...] When Jeff called I was reading the last portion of the first session in Jane’s book, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events — for April 18, 1977, in connection with a note I’m doing for Dreams. [...]

(I do want to note, however, that I met Dr. Jeff Karder as I walked down the hall from the emergency room today, on my way to climb the stairs to 330. [...] “My wife is an extremely strong-willed person,” I said, and Jeff agreed. [...]

(I meant to add in the opening notes that Jane’s resiliency was proving a learning experience for Jeff Karder as well as for her and me.)

(Jeff Karder, Jane’s doctor, visited her this morning. [...] Jane asked him why her right leg was shorter than the left one, and Jeff explained that the break had healed but that the bones were out of alignment, hence the shortness. [...]

[...] The negative part of Jeff’s information is that he said she couldn’t sit up until the leg was fixed to some degree, at least. [...]

(Jane said Jeff was plainly surprised at her improvements, but that at the same time he was condemning her to staying in bed. [...]

[...] She said she tried to explain to Jeff how she was uncomfortable and impatient in hydro, but got nowhere. [...]

[...] Jeff Karder, her doctor, had been in. [...] One of the nurses had evidently told Jeff that the open sores on Jane’s right knee were draining. [...] Jeff added that a small operation might fix it, or that perhaps nothing need be done.

[...] By 5:00 I began my nap — but Jeff Karder and a nurse came in ten minutes later. Jeff wanted to run a blood test tomorrow — “I’m not sure of the cause of the fever. [...] Jeff didn’t want Jane to get dehydrated. [...]

[...] They said the doctor had ordered the tests — we thought they meant Jeff Karder.

[...] She said Jeff had been in that morning, and saw that her feet were better, “Your temperature is up,” he told her. [...]

[...] Judy came in and told us Jeff hadn’t ordered the antibiotic — his wife, Olivia, who is also a doctor, had.

[...] Jeff was in to check Jane’s bedsores after she got back from hydro. [...]

[...] Jeff wants her to take this four times a day.

(Jeff was in — said results of all of the tests showed a blood infection. [...]

[...] Jeff Karder came in. [...] Jeff wants her on the potassium and vitamin C to keep her urine on the acid side, since this inhibits bacterial growth.

([Jeff:] “He was talking about quality and how all of us have quality in everything we do, in everything we dream....”

(Jeff was recapping Seth’s previous statements.

([Jeff:] “Thank you.”

[...] This noon I met Jeff Karder in the emergency room — just as I was thinking about him. [...]

(Jeff Karder had been in to see Jane this morning, and had seemed pleased enough as he examined her bedsores, and so forth. [...]

[...] At 4:09 Jane was given her next dosage of vitamin C — Jeff had changed the hours for some reason.

[...] Mary Jean said Jeff must have seen something on the report of her urinalysis this morning, and ordered the Bactrim, which is quite powerful. [...]

[...] She’s still somewhat depressed — said she hasn’t slept as well since taking the night medication prescribed by Jeff. [...]

[...] Jeff Karder has her on another vitamin supplement — a pungent colorless liquid that to me smells like orange peel. [...]

[...] Rita brought in some potassium and vitamin C that Jeff wants my wife to take, evidently as the result of a test. [...]

(Notes: On December 2 we were visited by a group of Jane’s students from NYC – Richie, Ricky, Sheri, Jerry, Jeff, Van Zandt, etc. [...]

[...] She did not see Jeff this morning. [...]
