Oh my gosh, Finny fell down the stairs tonight. A group of boys go get help from the wrestling coach. We also sent some one to go get Dr. Stanpole. The doctor tells me that this is a much cleaner break then last time. I go to the infirmary to try to sneak a peek in on Finny. I went to the window and Finny easily recognized me. Finny falls out of the bed ad then asks "you want to break something else in me"(pg.176). I was not ready for that so I said sorry and went home. I could not go back to bed so I just wandered the campus all night. But I ended up falling asleep under the stadium. I had this weird dream, all the walls could speak and they were saying some powerful things. Then when I woke up and went back to the room. There was a note from doctor Stanpole saying "please bring some of Finny's clothes and his toilet things to the Infirmary"(pg.179). When I went to give him his things Finny had no emotion what so ever, but his hands were shaking as he opened the suit case. I also found out that Finny has been trying to enlist into the military, but no branch will take him because of his leg. After when I was back in my room, I got a call from the Infirmary telling me that Finny has just died. A piece of bone marrow broke off and went into his blood stream. And ended up stopping his heart. I did not cry at the funeral, it was more of a funeral for me as well.
