(At 3:40 Jane began a series of foot motions. “Your left foot is way up off the bed,” I said. “At least four inches. She made a lot of grunting and heavy breathing noises: “Oh God, Bob....” Her head and shoulder moved actively sideways—good motions, with her left leg pumping up and down.
(3:44. Up in the air, Jane rotated her left ankle quite freely—the best I’ve seen her do yet. Her right foot moved in sympathetic motion, too.

(3:54.Jane lifted her left leg again, then her upper body—both moving in rhythm with each other. “Oh Honey, Honey, Honey,” she chanted, breathing heavily and grunting and groaning. She rested. “I try to stop every so often, in case anybody comes in,” she said. “Now I’ve got that electric feeling in the right toes.”
(Right after that people came in to check her vitals. Jane’s feet moved in between the calls. After all had left us by 4:09, she had a cigarette and made some more movements. Then she told me to get out my pad and pen.

(4:28. Her head and shoulders began moving. Then she swung each arm in turn in a large arc, the elbows working especially well in this exercise. The feet moved in rhythm. Most parts moved. “That was the whole body using itself,” I said when she finally rested. “Oh yeah?” Jane asked. “I couldn’t tell what was going on.”

She’d felt her feet move also.
(4:35. Jane’s left foot rotated quite flexibly even as it rested upon the bed. Then her head and shoulders started in again—side to side, noises and grunts. “The right foot’s moving more than it has been,” she grunted, and it was. She rested and finished the cranberry juice.

(Then for the first time after supper, after I’d read the prayer with Jane and was getting ready to leave, she said she felt that her body wanted to move some more. Her feet began flexing. I said that was an excellent sign, for it showed the body was starting to move out of its safe schedule of doing movements at just one time of the day. It was branching out. “I suppose such a move was inevitable,” I said, “and we should be damned glad of it....” A very good sign, I thought. If such signs keep up, I may have to alter my own schedule a bit to give her some time for movement after supper, say, before I leave. Once again I was cheered.)
