(Jane is off the Kefzol, the antibiotic Fred Kardon had her on after she broke her right leg. Fred took her off it this morning. He also visited her. Early this morning Georgia had noticed what she took to be a swelling over the break and the ulcer on the right knee, and suspected drainage problems. When Fred came into 330 Georgia had told Mary Ann about it, and Mary Ann pointed it out to Fred. He looked at it and said any swelling was “due to the arthritis.”

(Jane’s new freedom of motion continues in many ways. Many of those ways are small yet, but show signs of enlarging—and none of them even existed a short time ago. Turning her back on her back went much more easily this noon; she’s also dispensed with the pillow between her legs, and using a doughnut sponge we used to use before the leg break.

(3:50. Lorrie came in to take Jane’s blood pressure. She gave no sign that she realized Seth was present. Jane broke off at once to speak in a conversational tone. Lorrie is the gal who, with a student nurse, broke Jane’s leg when turning her, when showing the student how to do it. Lorrie smiles and talks to us, but hurries in and out as quickly as she can. I know the episode affected her. After she left I read the last paragraph to Jane. Resume at 3:53.)

(At 4:45 I got ready to turn Jane on her side with the doughnut between her knees. I massaged her neck briefly first, and her left leg. The turn went very well indeed—much less painful for my wife. That made two good turns today, I said, and she agreed. After she was on her side I used Oil of Olay to massage her feet, lower legs, arms and hands, talking to all of those portions —and new movements were apparent in all areas. Wonderful. I took a nap at 5:00.)
