Back from CA...just reread my original post...sorry for freaking out on y'all. I was extremely upset. No computer access while I was gone so.... I did finally get ahold of Joey right before my plane left last Monday. His commanding officers, which I guess were being overly cautious, made it seem like they shouldn't be around anyone who hasn't been vaccinated until the vaccination area scabs over..approx. 2 weeks. Joey went to Medical and the docs told him there was no reason why he couldn't see me just be very cautious to keep the bandage on.

So all that upheval for nothing. I got to see him Tuesday through Thursday. Even though it makes me miss him so much more every time I see him, it was worth it. He leaves tomorrow for either Kuwait or Iraq. We're hoping he'll only be there for 3 or 4 months.

Thanks for listening. I'm going to go give the kitties some attention. They missed me. I have a very happy Bixby in my lap right now making it very hard to type so I'll check in tomorrow and catch up on all the posts I've missed. Hope everyone and their furries are doing well. ((HUGS))
