(After a good lunch, Jane started reading aloud yesterday’s session. She didn’t do too well, although she improved on yesterday’s efforts. She finished half an hour later, at 3:30, and we discussed the above events, plus her quick motions involving the burning cigarette of the night before that.

(4:10. Jane started some rather restrained motions of her head and shoulders. “My hips are rotating,” she said, “but I don’t suppose you can see that.”

(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.”
(4:25. Left foot, head, moving gently. “My right leg is moving, but I guess you can’t even tell by looking at it,” she said. I saw a few spasmodic motions around the knee area. Jane lay with her hands crossed on her chest. I told her the right leg was starting, and that was good. She lifted her left leg and moved the foot. “When the right foot moves, the right ankle, then I stop,” Jane said. “I shouldn’t do that.” I reminded her that yesterday Seth had said the right leg discomfort was only temporary. She moved her head and torso up off the bed a bit, then groaned: “That right foot tried to come up off the bed.”
(4:35. She made a small series of general motions. This must be a rest day, I thought, willing to let it go at that. She hadn’t even mentioned a session—but soon, she did indeed tell me to get out my paper.)

(Jane ate another good supper. I told her its obvious now that her body is filling itself in gradually, for it has a softer look. As I was getting ready to leave after reading her the prayer at 7:00 PM, Jane said she could feel that she could “take off” with more motions right then. Her left foot was moving. I told her that it was safe for her to move after I left—that is, when she was alone, I’d pulled up the guardrails, so she was in no danger of falling out of bed, etc. She knew that, and said she would do some movements. It was another sign of the body’s willingness to move at any time, I thought.
