“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The temperature today was half that of yesterday—about 32 degrees—when I got to 330. Jane was sort of blue as she lay on her left side. I could spot the signs instantly. It developed that she’d had to have a new catheter inserted at around 11:00 AM, and that she was worried about being transferred to another room if and when the administration shut down surgical 3, as they call it.

(3:06. She began reading aloud yesterday’s six-page session while I worked with mail. She did very well indeed. She wouldn’t say the effort was her very best, but it was certainly close to it—an excellent sign. “But the copy did get bigger at times, really good,” she said.

(3:45. Then her right foot, left leg, torso, all moved well. “Oh Bob.” Her left leg was up 4 inches off the mattress. Groans and. cries. Head and shoulders side to side, loud cries. She rested, then had some water. Right leg started to open up as it had yesterday.

(4:00. Sharon came in for temperature—96.0?—and pulse. No one ever showed up for blood pressure. Jane hasn’t heard about any results from the blood tests of a couple of days ago. Judy and LuAnn came in; all talked about transferals. Judy said the latest now is that six patients—including Jane—are to stay where they are in Surgical 3. “Thank God,” Jane said. I hope so. I noticed later in the afternoon that the old room we used to have, 331, next door, is empty. I also think the room on the other side of us is empty. Judy seemed to think that what she’d been told about the six patients was pretty reliable. The section is down to 13 patients, she said. The census usually drops over the holidays. LuAnn said the unit has never been shut down before because a drop in the census, though. She thinks management is using the impending construction program as an excuse to move people.

(Jane’s Seth voice was good.)
