(The day was colder — 28 degrees — when I left for 330. I’d worked on taxes for an hour this morning, and Dreams. No calls from anybody. I’d envisioned Jane getting back to her room around 11:00, after hydro, but when I got there she said she didn’t get back until almost noon. She’d just had her fresh bandages put on and been turned, before I arrived. She ate a good lunch, though, and seemed to be doing okay.
(2:45. I began working with mail, and Jane started reading yesterday’s session. She zipped right through it — doing the best she has in some little while — and finished at 2:55. Very good indeed.
(3:00. Dana came in to empty Jane’s catheter bag, or Foley, as everyone calls it. Shawn took her temperature at 3:20 — 98.5; and at 3:45 Lynn gave Jane eyedrops.
(In between all of this activity, when we were alone for quiet moments, I mentioned a question to Jane that I’d thought of last night; I hoped Seth might go into it, I said. The question had been triggered by a sentence of mine in the notes for yesterday’s session, to the effect that I sometimes wondered why Jane’s body, particularly her body consciousness, didn’t simply take over to “even a more profound degree, and see to it that her physical body healed itself even more rapidly so that we could get out” of the hospital. Jane had had an emotional reaction, I’d noticed, when she read that line aloud yesterday, and it set me thinking.

(I also reminded Jane that we’d like a word from Seth on our negative-type dreams of the night before last, and which I’d described in yesterday’s session.)

(4:36 p.m. “It’s me,” Jane said. She had a cigarette before I turned her on her side. I massaged her toes as Seth had recently suggested, which got good results, then after I’d turned her, I gently worked her right leg back and forth as Seth had suggested. The knee of the broken leg actually works quite freely, I remarked — much more so than the left knee. Jane agreed. In fact, when she’s lying down, her left foot impedes the motion of her right foot and leg. But this will pass.
(Jane ate a good supper, and I left at 7:10 after reading the prayer with her. Sleep well, sweetheart.)
