(Debbie Harris visited Jane last night. When I got to 330 this afternoon Jane told me about an excellent dream she’d had last night. It involved her putting on blue jeans and a belt, and rolling on the bed to get the jeans on the way she used to do. The belt was her old favorite. Jane also described to me how she negated some poor suggestions a couple of the people who take care of her had made this morning, concerning a couple of her bedsores. She told herself to forget it, that the decubiti could heal themselves perfectly well.
(Jane had an excellent lunch. At 3:30 she began to have a lot of new motions in her neck, rotating her head much more freely from side to side than she’s been able to do so far. It helped the whole back, I said. Her shoulders raised and moved better also. Jane was moving her arms and hands to some extent during lunch. Her toes have been moving also, she said.
(3:40. Now Jane’s feet and ankles began to move in rhythm—just as though she were pedaling a bicycle, she said—and as she grunted and groaned with the effort the feet began to easily move the fastest I’ve seen them do yet. Even her head raised and lowered itself on the pillow in time with the foot motions.

(At 3:56 Dawn came in to take Jane’s temperature—97.3—and her pulse. After Dawn left Jane said she felt motion in her hips for the first time. She could feel them shifting from side to side as she lay on her back in bed. I could see hints of the motions. Another first, I told her. This would be very important, for now her hips wouldn’t always be laying upon the bed like a dead weight. “The first time I could move them,” Jane said. This could be a very important development. “They definitely moved in a new way for the first time.”
(We got tired of waiting for others to come in. Jane’s Seth voice was firm but not terribly loud.)

(I’ve been speculating and hoping that this is the case since this series of sessions began, I told Jane after the session.

(4:18. “Well, this session easily describes the most encouraging news yet,” I told Jane. No interruptions, as we’d expected there to be. Jane could still feel the motion and its effects in her neck.

(Jane had a cigarette. “It would be nice if I got home by Christmas,” she said. “But at the same time I’ve been afraid to think such thoughts....”

(4:21. “That’s it,” Jane said. The best of the little sessions yet, I said. The turn onto her left side went easily. I rubbed Oil of Olay into her feet, lower legs, arms and hands, talking to those parts as I “worked” on them. They were all better, I could feel. Jane ate an excellent supper. She said she felt motions in her body as she lay on her side, watching TV while I took a nap from 5:05 to 5:35. She occasionally moved a portion of her body as she ate supper. We were very encouraged.)
