we've been knowing that Joey is leaving for overseas. he got word sometime between this coming Friday and the day after Easter that he's leaving. well, he doesn't have liberty this week but I was going up there to spend Tuesday evening and Wednesday with him on base. In fact, I'm flying out right after work today.
He just called. He's getting the small pox vaccine today and he can't see me. I'm devastated. I would have been better if after the last time I left I knew I wouldn't have another opportunity to see him. But to go to CA and spend time with my family there, be so close and not see him is just killing me. It's so stupid. tons of people have had that vaccine....they didn't keep them under lock and key. Years ago that vaccine was normal for children to get...why can't I see him. He says eveyone on base has had the vaccine. I find it hard to belive. When I was there, so many civillians come and go off that base...and not just people employed by the base...taxi cabs etc...I doubt they have had the vaccine.
Just spoke with my Mother who is a nurse. She has never heard of them quarentining(sp?) anyone from their family after getting it. He's trying to see if he can get the vaccine on Thursday. Please pray that he can either get it moved to Thursday or that they'll let me see him. I could just cry.
