Ox Fall Down

Matchday 23: 16 minutes to walk over from the North End. A new record.

Beth is waiting in her nurse's scrubs. Ron calls you in. They let her shadow them during alignment. The clogs show she's trustworthy.

The position of the snout effects the radio signal. The back portal is crystal clear. The left portal is weaker but you still make out: the Beatles, the Wings, Springsteen, Simon and Garfunkel, Gary Wright.

Afterwards Dr. Delaney stops you in the hallway. The tumor has shrunk off of the stomach. He notes a clearly visible layer of fat in the margin. No surgery. He'll decide now how long treatment will last. Likely 35 to 38 total days. New lenses cast and compensators milled at the beginning of the week. Treatment with the old sets continues through Tuesday. Then the remaining course finishes with the new sets.

Bullet dodged. Bring on Tennessee.
