Cancer and Sports Part 10 Of Many

Brett Favre did it - game 4 for the Vikings!  Jeff watched from his room - alone and did not manage to stay awake throughout the entire great game.  I left Favre on my bench (so much for advice - always play Brees).  I did not watch the game...I was also alone last night and without Jeff it seemed pointless.  That is how cancer effects all  family members.  Sports is a team event and our QB is on the injured disabled list, we have no back up so the team fell apart.  Life is definitely a team sport.

Favre is interesting - his comeback, like Trots, indicate that good guys do get do-overs and Jeff will get a do-over as well.  I am looking for signs that of recovery and they are slow to come.  A year ago I was looking a Favre and thinking he was through, caput...so I look at him now and fast forward 1 year for Jeff and know that this too shall pass and our QB will be back heading the team.

I am waiting to see if I have any connections to get Jeff to drink and eat.  I know if it comes from me (other than he Special K beverage this am) it does not mean as much as from someone he really looks up to   (he loves me but as a klutz I have very little pull).  If any of my readers are athletes, POLEEEEZE get in touch with me ([e-mail]) and I will get you his cell.  It does not matter if you are a bench warmer - if you can say - Eat, buddy! - you will make a dramatic difference.

Today is a work day.  I have been to the hospital and now I am surrounded by memorabilia - including one of the last Green Bay mini helmets signed by Brett Favre.  I may have to just keep it and bring it to Jeff's room at the hospital...just to remind him that there are great comebacks and his will be one of them!
