(The day was cool—39 degrees—when I left the house. For once it wasn’t raining. I picked up the mail at the box before I left—including a riotous letter from Saul Cohen, our editor at Prentice-Hall.

(She showed me, then, how the flesh of her forearms has turned soft and flexible, whereas up until yesterday it had been quite rigid and wooden, and she’d had no feeling in it. Now she does, and the flesh moves beneath my fingers. Her legs used to be that way, and still are in places. The arm effects appeared after I’d left her last night; at around 7:30 she’d said to herself: “I want to have something good to show Bob tomorrow.” Congratulations, Jane.

(3:42. Cathy came in early to take Jane’s temperature—98.5—and pulse. Jane resumed the session immediately after Cathy left. 3:45.)

(3:46 PM. “Now I’ll see if I can do some exercises,” Jane said. “So I did that for a good part of the evening—massaged first the right arm, then the left one, after they started to improve.” My first thought had been that the softening in the arms would help relieve the doubled-up fingers of her right hand. The session, then, is one of the major ones, signaling an excellent prognosis for continued improvement. I told Jane, also, that yesterday she had referred to a looser feeling inside her left elbow, a greater softness, so Seth was right: these particular improvements had been in the works, yet triggered by Jane’s suggestions.

(4:33. Jane started some motions with her left foot, then her torso and head, back and forth against the pillow. The motions were mild, but her breathing grew heavier.
(4:40. Rather strong motions of her head and shoulders, side to side and up and down. Noises, grunts and groans. These were Jane’s best movements in quite a few days. Left foot also.

(4:35. I turned Jane on her left side, then massaged her with Oil of Olay as usual. The supper tray hadn’t come. It still wasn’t there after my nap was over at 5:30, so I asked Cathy’s help in tracking it down. It still didn’t show up until 6:15, when Sharon Poley brought it in. This balled up our schedule, and made me late leaving Jane—at 7:30—but I see I managed to get the session done after a late supper anyhow. It’s 9:45 as I finish typing this. I said the prayer with Jane before leaving her for the night. She promised to call later if she could.)
