(The main thing I want to note is that after the catheter had been changed for the last time, Jane very nearly turned over on her left side by herself. This is very important. She thinks LuAnn may have given her an initial shove to get her going. At the same time, Jane doesn’t know how she did it—the action evidently was the way it should be, largely automatic. I heard her exclaim over the feat at the time, without paying a lot of attention, since I’d shoved my chair back into a corner to get out of the way while the staff worked on Jane; I was doing mail. But this is quite an advancement for my wife.

(The day was warmer—40 degrees—but very damp, and ended up raining heavily by the time I left for home. Room 330, however, was cold all afternoon, even after the heating man tinkered with the thermostat. For most of the afternoon Jane consented to having the cloth from Switzerland thrown over her.

(3:14. I apply the Rescue Remedy Cream to the knuckles of Jane’s right hand. She said both her arms are working better, and that the web of skin between the thumb and the fingers, and between each finger, on her left hand, has softened considerably. “They used to feel like leather,” she said.
(3:20. Jane tried to reread the session for 12/4, but couldn’t do much with it. Her left eye was working poorly, cloudy. Her right eye is fine, and sees colors well, she said, but for some reason the two eyes together couldn’t read well. She managed to creep along, and did a bit better as she went along.

(Which reminds me that after she left us, Susie went next door to tease at Christina, but for some reason Christina didn’t respond with her own Russian mixture of unintelligible cries and pleadings for Georgia.

(3:59. A new nurse, a student, came in to take Jane’s blood pressure in mid-sentence. She didn’t notice anything. Jane resumed right away as soon as the lady left the room. 4:01.)

(For the rest of the afternoon, up until I left at 7:10, we followed our regular routine of turn, massage with Oil of Olay, nap, supper, TV and prayer. Jane did well. I told her that generally her whole bearing and the look of her body has improved a great deal. It’s obvious now that she’s putting on weight, and moving better. And better days are coming, that’s for sure.)
