“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I told Jane the important thing was that the areas hadn’t broken down, and that was what counted. She understood. She explained a bit later that she’d been upset—and blue afterward—about going to hydro this morning. New people were there to take care of her because Lottie and Darlene and Barb were pulled off for other duty—perhaps for some time. The male nurse who assisted Jane got her on the litter backward, Jane said. He had to be shown what to do, nor did he know how to move her. In spite of it all things went well, Jane said, though “they” ran the water more heavily than the old staff members did, and Jane said she couldn’t try to move her feet as easily with the increased pressure of the water. Darlene did help return Jane to 330, and showed the others how to put my wife back in bed. I told Jane I supposed it was a good thing that others learned how to handle her; someone could always get sick, or quit, etc., and Jane agreed. She seemed to have handled the episode okay.

(4:20. A few left leg motions. “It’s all right, don’t worry about the right leg,” Jane said several times as she lifted her left leg and rotated her foot at the ankle gently. Her motions today were subdued, her grunts and breathing not so prominent. She said she didn’t try to do much in hydro because of the water: “I guess that’s just the way different people do it.”

(I was surprised to learn that she had considered not telling me about her morning’s episode that brought on the blues: hydro. The situation reminded me of my wife’s strong secretive streak in her makeup—one much like mine, I thought. I also think this streak has played a large part in her “symptoms” over the years, and that each one of us ought to work hard at eliminating, or at least minimizing, that aspect of our personalities. I think this is an important point, and one I meant to go into with her, but didn’t. I’ll mention it tomorrow, Tuesday. I think that each of us can help keep the other on an even keel by talking about our hidden tendencies.
