(Jane said Georgia Cecce was in to see her this morning, and to borrow another pack of cigarettes. A nurse by the name of Gaye washed Jane’s hair this morning; I told my wife it looked good. Jane looked in the mirror and didn’t agree, although she did admit that her hair wasn’t white, but gray and white. Jane went through the motions of smiling into the mirror, after she’d put on lipstick. Gaye had darkened her brows with the eyebrow pencil earlier this morning.
(After lunch Jane told me that she’d had a new catheter inserted at about 3:30 this morning. No trouble. But she needed the new one after the new girl on the floor had pulled it loose several times while taking care of her. No hydro this morning.
(Jane, with Carla’s help, tried to call me twice last night, but I didn’t get back to the house from John Bumbalo’s until about midnight. We had an excellent supper. I woke up stewing around 3:00, and got up for about an hour before returning to bed. The pendulum told me I was fretting about losing time on Dreams.
(2:50. Jane began reading yesterday’s session, and did quite well. She was done at 3:05 after a good read. She had a smoke while I tried to concentrate upon mail, but I didn’t do well. I was sleepy.
(From 4:00 to 4:07 people came in to take her vitals — temperature 99, up a bit, but Jane felt okay. I was beginning to think she wouldn’t have a session when she told me to get my paper.)

(4:47 p.m. Earlier this afternoon Jane had showed me how the curled-up fingers of her right hand had indeed loosened up to some extent. I’d applied Remedy Rescue Cream to the knuckles of both hands. I’ve also been aware, for some time, of changes taking place on the wrist and the back of her left hand. When I turned her before supper this evening, her right arm moved quite freely and loosely at the elbow. The right knee also flexes better and better. So these invaluable changes continue to happen.
(I left Jane at 7:07 after reading the prayer with her. I waved to Georgia in 307 on my way out. She had company so I didn’t stop.
(Both of us instantly remembered the Jungle Gym at the lakeside park in Webster, where we’d first noticed Jane’s faltering in physical movement so many years ago. Today when Seth mentioned it she hadn’t seem distressed, though, so perhaps that memory can be put to good constructive use by us now.)
