Don't drop the resistance.

About this work
There is only one night slot. Past the PT curtain, Dain keeps a resistance band around her wrist and will not close the chart. Twenty-nine. Short hair, scrub pants, strong arms. Her orthopedic-surgeon husband is still in the OR upstairs.
“Don't drop the resistance.” Walk out through the curtain and the night is a chart. Stay at the table edge, and this stops being rehab.
