(Jane had a cigarette and Darvoset after lunch today. Her arms still rotate, though not as fast as yesterday. She’s uncomfortable on her back, especially in her right foot, which is still moving, more than yesterday, and is still painful for me to touch on the instep. The skin color looks better. She slept well last night. “Some things” were better this morning, when she was turned, went to hydro, etc.

(Jane was still moving parts of herself at 3:30—a very good workout indeed, easily the best I’ve seen her do since she came into the hospital last April 20. When she began moving her left foot again, she could feel the motion travel up her leg, through the knee, into the hip and the groin, then on toward the shoulder on that side of her body.

(“It looks like the body is trying itself out,” I said. Truly, this was more than I’d dared anticipate. If she had a session today, I wanted to tell Seth that what I was writing here today was much more than I’d expected to be able to write two weeks ago, say, or even a week ago....
(Jane did decide to have a short session after all. Her voice was good but not loud as she lay on her back.)

(4:23 PM. I told Jane that I’d never expected to be writing down what I was doing these days, since I hadn’t mentioned it to Seth after all. “So that in itself is something spectacular,” I said, meaning her present developments.
(It was time to turn her on her side, facing the window with the pillow between her knees, so that she could get off her back for an hour before supper. It’s still painful for her to be turned. After she was in position, however, I massaged Oil of Olay into her feet, lower legs, and especially her hands, talking to them in my process of “dehypnotization,” as I call it. This has proven to be quite effective, and I can feel Jane’s limbs relax as I work on them. The hands are responding.
(I reread this session to Jane after supper was over at 6:50. She was on her back again, of course, and rotating her arms and hands faster than ever. The rest of her body seemed to lie quietly and at peace as I left for the evening.)
