(I went shopping at the Acme after I left Jane last night, got home about 8:30, and finished supper an hour later. I was typing the session at 10:00 when she called with Carla’s help.
[... 1 paragraph ...]
(Jane told me she’d had to have a new catheter inserted at 3:30 a.m. That part went okay, though she was quite uncomfortable by the time I got to 330 — generally uncomfortable, that is. She ate a good lunch, and I brought home scraps for our cats, Billy and Mitzi. Jane mourns not being able to see those creatures.

(2:40. Jane began reading yesterday’s session, but found it hard going. She had some bladder spasms, and finally laid aside the session to have a cigarette while I worked on mail. She went back to the session at 2:56, doing a little better, and finished at 3:09.
(3:20–3:55. Judy emptied Jane’s Foley, or catheter bag, Dorothy took her blood pressure and pulse, and Carla her temperature — 98.2. I did some more mail until Jane said she was ready for a session. The hospital had been very quiet today, and we’d been left pretty much alone most of the time. Jane’s Seth voice was a bit stronger than usual.)

(4:35 p.m. Jane’s delivery had been good, and I told her the session was excellent. She sipped ginger ale and had a smoke. “I do get feelings while delivering the stuff,” she said, “wondering if I’m giving it the best way — like that material about the fetus not taking its death as a failure, but an experience. That would be hard for most people to understand …”

(A few minutes before I was set to leave at 7:00, after we’d read the prayer, Jane said she wanted to talk. It developed that she’s feeling more impatient, and really wants to be able to sit up — say in a lounge chair like the people from the infirmary mentioned. Only her bent legs would prevent her from taking any position except the ones she uses in bed. She said she’d even thought of asking her doctor for help — “except that I stay away from doctors as much as possible,” she said with a half laugh.

(I didn’t realize it until I got home, but I forgot to read the session to Jane. However, she remembered that Seth had said she was to make a friend of impatience. But her impatience is growing, no doubt about it, and if it continues to do so I’m sure it will bring about — even force — changes in her behavior and attitude. I know it’s coming. I hope — I expect — that the body will have prepared itself for the changes in routine and motion when they do finally arrive.)
