(“I’m taking it for granted that I can have a session,” Jane said as we sat waiting for Seth to come through at 9:13 PM, “but I sure know that I’m awfully uncomfortable.” She referred to her hips and legs—the same areas that have bothered her a great deal now for a number of weeks. She especially has trouble leaning forward in her chair. She continues to have much trouble sleeping and getting up, alternated with blue periods, etc.
(She’s also developed a strange hearing problem in recent weeks. In recent days I’ve finally realized that she often doesn’t hear me speak in an average voice—especially so when she isn’t looking at me. At first I thought the dry air in the house during the winter was responsible, since for a while I thought I was having trouble hearing her—but this doesn’t seem to really apply. A couple of days ago we narrowed the cause down to the fact that since her hips and legs began to act up so, she’s been taking ten arthritis-strength Bufferin a day; this has been going on for a month or so, and is far more than she usually took. Jane cut out much of her dosage—and all of the Bufferin—and her hearing cleared up within a day or so. And for some reason, I can hear her better, too.

Now Ruburt’s hips are definitely changing their positions. Certain joints that worked very poorly are releasing, allowing portions of the body to move in new directions. His body is thrusting itself upward. Much work is done when he is in bed. It can be uncomfortable, but far less so with understanding and a bit of patience. He becomes frightened, for the reasons given in late sessions, and again, he can use as much reassurance as you can give him—as much understanding. And the better the communication between you, the better the entire situation.
