(Jane was okay on her side. Did okay in hydro, trying out a few motions. No BM this morning, though. Patty, RN, took cultures of both leaking ulcers on her hips for tests. No discomfort. Jane ate a good lunch. She had a cigarette at 2:05 while I worked on mail.

And I felt that now familiar but never-taken-for-granted hope and enthusiasm as I walked down the hall after leaving her at 7:05 PM. I’d read the prayer with her five minutes earlier.)
