From the minute you get on the plane, you are surrounded by people of your ilk. In this case, the ilk is Jets Fans. A happy go lucky bunch of faithfuls. The happiness grew with the camaraderie on the plane and a few J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets! Chants. Yup – we are a brotherhood of crazy folks who bleed green.

20 Years: A Labor of Love
Freddy and I hadn’t exactly been connecting since the beginning of September. Once school starts, life becomes more hectic. By the time homework and dinner are done, my communication skills are minimal… almost non-existent.
Blood Counts: Joey & leukemia Part 7
We ended up with a long delay after the horrible ordeal in the hospital. We had to go to the clinic every few days, but Joey’s blood counts were low, and he wasn’t able to start the next phase for 15 days. The next stage had four spinal infusions within two weeks with all the other steroids and chemos.
In Memory of Teri
On September 16th, the world lost a beautiful human being, Teri Beauchamp Kincade. Teri was a large part of the impetus behind me starting this blog. She played such a significant role in my new endeavor, that I dedicate my blog to her, along with my son. I hate f*cking cancer.
Side Effects/Chemo: Joey & leukemia, Part 6
Joey is admitted back into the hospital to start the next phase. This particular phase is an extremely high dose of methotrexate. It was given slowly into the spine over 30 minutes, and then given in the vein over the course of many hours. The side effects would be horrific mouth sores and vomiting.
My Heart: Joey & leukemia, Part 4
I no longer had Freddy to get me coffee, and that was a problem. No more husband to hold my hand and be my punching bag. There isn’t much sleeping going on, and I just needed that cup of caffeine first thing in the morning.
