(As soon as I turned Jane back on her back at about 1:15 I massaged Oil of Olay into her left leg and talked to her and to it. The leg felt better, less tense than it had yesterday. At the same time Jane’s left foot hurt when I rubbed the leg, and turned outward on its side.

(3:01. Jane began reading yesterday’s session. She did better than she had yesterday. I helped her some also.

(4:28 PM. It was time to turn Jane on her side. The neck massage I’d given her earlier, which Seth referred to, had followed a turning also. It had been painful for her to be turned, and I’d tried to relieve some of her tenseness by massaging her neck muscles and back. It had helped.)
