“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane ate a good lunch. Afterward three of the staff came in to hoist her further up the bed and change her drawsheet. They had to lift Jane, and this hurt her; she cried. She began to read yesterday’s session while I did mail, and once again she started out holding the papers on the left side with her left hand. Then shortly afterward she also began using her right hand on the right side. She didn’t read well today, though, but got through the session finally.

(Jane had read my summary of yesterday’s events, holding the pages up with both hands in what already seems like a more normal way for her—as if she’d been doing so all along. She also showed me how she could much more easily turn her head from side to side, and around, than she has been able to. Very good, I told her—another sign. When LuAnn was in she replaced the new nose patch that Georgia had put on to replace the one Phyllis had put on yesterday—the first one had been too big, the second too small, the third one was just right.

(3:55. Then Jane said something very important—that when the guardrail on the bed in down on the left side, and the TV is pushed back out of the way, she gets the impulse to sit up in bed and swing her legs down over the side. Only she can’t straighten out her legs enough yet. But this is an excellent sign, I told her, and one that I hope develops.

Ruburt now feels the impulse to sit up on the side of his bed—an excellent development, for action follows impulse.

(4:40. She agreed to have me turn her over on her left side a bit earlier because I was tired. First she tried to do it herself, but couldn’t quite make it. She did do it this morning, though, she said. She’s tried it several times with me, but hasn’t succeeded yet. But she’s improving here also.
