I hope your mom is still doing well. Poor Joey (I'm saying this a lot!) I've been there to witness family members receiving upsetting medical news, but I am certain that the feeling pales in significance to actually being the patient. I can't even imagine...
Author's Response:
Yeah, she is. She's passed that five-year mark, so I feel a little more reassured, but I still get jumpy now and then.
I couldn't say which is worse: being sick yourself or having someone you know and love being sick. I guess both situations are bad in their own way.
I loved this short description, I could see it in my mind like the guys were sitting right here in my living rooom. Well if that wouldn't be something awesome. Anyway, I am so glad you are writing a Joey story. And yes, I agree about needing more Joey, Chris and Lance stories. I hope you will keep going on this, even thought it gives me a slight twinge in my stomach to think of what is coming next...even though it is just a story. Great job!!
Author's Response: Thank you. I believe in providing enough detail to give my readers a good idea of what's happening while leaving some room for imagination.
Oh no! How awful.. :(
Honestly I actually thought that Joey was iron deficient or something..
I hate it when doctors break the "news", its always so frightening, you don't know what to expect.
Author's Response: Don't I know it. You don't want to be left in suspense, but not knowing also serves as a sort of shield.
