(Today Jane and I were very busy—so busy we were quite late with the session. This morning I typed Saturday night’s session. I finished just in time to eat a bite of lunch before Rusty and Hal returned. Hal demonstrated his massage techniques on me as I lay on the couch, so that I’d know better how to help Jane. They were very effective—so much so that I could have easily fallen asleep; the relaxation I achieved reminded me of the chiropractic treatments I’d had years ago, or of the self-hypnosis effects I used to get any time I had a dental appointment. [I don’t use the hypnosis any more for the dentist, by the way; perhaps a residue lingers, for as soon as I sit in Paul O’Neill’s chair I begin getting very relaxed and sleepy.]
(After Rusty and Hal left we napped, changed dressings, etc., and before we knew it I was hurrying to get supper and do other chores so that we’d have time for a session. Hal and I both had noticed almost a marked improvement in Jane’s condition, especially in her hands, knees and feet. I think the vitamin therapy is helping considerably here, and seems to be following the results listed in Dr. Van Fleet’s book. Jane too is quite pleased. Indeed, her hands look better than they have in probably a couple of years, I’d say; the swelling seems to be largely gone. My idea is that if Jane will continue the vitamin therapy—a term I don’t particularly like—that in a couple of months she might achieve some good results, for as I explained to her, I think the key to curing the decubiti lies in increased mobility, especially in the knees. This will give her more freedom to move in bed.

Ruburt is doing well under these circumstances—I am referring to the last few days—with the help from you that he did indeed so need. This is your own individual and joint expedition. (Long pause.) Hal’s therapy is very good. But you must follow your own dictates right now. Again, remember the two of you have very strong do-it-yourself qualities, exhibited long before the sessions began.
