(Jane is back to drinking cranberry juice after passing the bladder stone, but is feeling okay and no more stones have showed up.

(“That’s good,” I said. “It’s the precursor to it doing just that,” Jane agreed. Her left foot rotated freely at the ankle again as she made noises. Head back and forth. “Shhhhh.”
(4:15.Big right toe flexing. Also the heel. Head and shoulders moving, arms and feet. Left ankle.
(4:22. I touched her spots on her neck and head—and her head went back and forth almost violently again. “I don’t know what to do,” Jane said as she rested. “I can feel Seth around, but every time I do, I start moving again.” I said the motion came first as far as I knew. She drank a little more cranberry juice and had a cigarette while I worked with the mail.
