(Jane is back to drinking cranberry juice after passing the bladder stone, but is feeling okay and no more stones have showed up. She said that when she was alone in hydro this morning she felt her right foot [of the broken leg] lift up spontaneously at the toes. The left foot moved also. No one else has noticed her new motions yet. At various times she’s also felt motion even with her head and shoulders. These are all excellent signs, I told her.

(3:48. Jane began a series of motions again, her left leg going sideways, her head in rhythm also. Different motions were involved in the foot, and I could see the muscles in her left leg moving with the effort. Heavy breathing. “See, this other leg’s trying to do it too,” Jane said. More and more the more inactive right leg and foot show signs of wanting to join in the daily dance of motion.
(3:52. Left foot up in the air and flexing well at the ankle. “It feels like the right knee wants to move more than it has,” Jane said. Head back and forth.

Left leg back and forth rapidly against the pillow support. Cranberry juice.

Generalized body motions. “When everything gets moving like that,” Jane said, as far as the motion goes, it has its own impetus.”
(4:09. It looked liked her left arm was straightening out a bit at the elbow and it moved rapidly in a tight circle over her belly. Heavy breathing and grunting. Rest. “See the right foot? It feels like it could fly right up in the air.”
(“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.
