(Two noteworthy events should be noted: Peggy Gallagher visited for the first time in a number of days. She at once noticed and said that Jane looked much better, was moving better, and was putting on weight. The other is that at 4:27 Jane called my attention to a new motion of hers: She reached across her belly with her right hand and down to the bed on her left side, to pick up a smidgeon of tobacco or bread crust. She couldn’t actually pick up the morsel with her fingers, but did make the movement preparatory to doing so—another first for her. Once again, I arranged the call button for her before leaving at 7:05 PM.

(Jane ate well after I’d turned her, massaged her with Oil of Olay, taken a nap and organized the supper tray. I read the prayer with her at 6:50, and left at 7:05 to go shopping at the Acme on the south side. I was eating supper by 8:50 PM.
