DESKAIDE * THE SILENT SECRETARY * 1942 OCTOBER 3 SATURDAY Fair. My leg is a little better but I was very restless last night, woke at 1:45. I did German about all day. I didn't finish the chapter 4. In the afternoon I walked around a bit to Bobby's. I can walk without dragging my foot but can't bend my knee - about same swelled. I can't bear to sit down in a chair, stand still, feet I can walk + lie or sit with feet stretched out. Carolyn came over in the evening - she got her 1st permanent today - pretty.
