HOME sweet HOME

I made it home yesterday afternoon and I can tell you there is truely No place like Home! I am a little emotional again this morning but it is for a totally completely different reason. Today is about the overwellming post of my Wall, textes, calls, emails, visits I have had over the past week. The lord has truely blessed me with many people that CARE. Like truely care. It is overwellming just how many people have contracted me in one way or the other just to tell me to "stay strong" or that "I am in there prayers"  

Yesterday Amy said she had a little surprise for me. When we got home she took out like 30 pieces of paper all with writing on them. They were little letters and notes from all the children in her class. She teaches 6th 7th , and 8th graders here in oshkosh at south park middle school. In each class the kids kind of asked what happen and Amy told them some things. They had a little 'health' lesson before class. I guess they asked very good questions like is cancer contagious? I mean that is a GREAT question for a 6th grader to be asking right? Well anyways, in one of the classes they asked if they could write me cards and Amy said, "If you you like to write him a card that would be nice but you dont have too." After class almost everyone came up to her and gave her something to give to me. I started tearing up again when i got these because i was already overwellmed about how many people cared. Now people and kids that I dont even know are writing me letters? It was very Amazing to read all the things the kids wrote and it made me LAUGH and I needed a laugh. The running theme in all of the notes they wrote me was, "P.S.- Will you marry Miss Joiner please?"
About every other one said something about that. One little girl even called flower girl! She said she thinks that she would be good at it.

So I am just kind of playing the waiting game right now. They still havn't told me what kind of Lymphoma it is yet. I think I will prolly get a call today about it.  They want me to heal up from the surgery before I start any treatment because the treatment will kinda slow or stop the healing process. Treatment will prolly start June 1st ish they think and it will be at St. Lukes, in Milwaukee. They said I had to do they first treatment there because they have a better supporting staff just incase something goes wrong.

It's nice that we are heading down a road now. Before, when I had all this pain, they didnt know what was going on. All the tests they ran were good. One doctor even told me that I had alot of GAS and I needed Gas-X. That was the day before I went in for emerency surgrey. He told me I had gas and I looked at him like his was the dumbest doctor in the planet. I know my body. This is more that a little gas build up buddy. But at least now we know what it is and and start doing something about it.

To end it today I just want to leave you guys with a picture that one of the kids drew. haha those kids are amazing. I would love to go and visit them before school gets out...
