Yesterday my day started off wonderful with Jane taking me to get a pedicure and a manicure. I was in heaven. It is one of my favorite things to do. Kudos to Jane!!! We spent the day talking and crying. It was a cleansing day! Late in the afternoon two of my college days friends came by: Melanie and Sue. Thanks for the laughs and memories. We really appreciate the gift cards that Sue and her family gave us. We sure will use them during this busy time of our lives.
The pink basket arrived again by Cheryl and Linda. It was filled with goodies. Cheryl brought me lunch from the Lunch Group! (It happened to be Cheryl's turn anyways). Thanks to my Washington Family. You guys are truly amazing people. Hopefully, I can come by for lunch one Monday real soon. Who has it next week?
Our night ended with Julie C. (from Church) giving us amazing body and neck massages. It was wonderful. Even Matt snuck in a neck rub from her. He was in heaven. Thanks Julie for your great hands.
Today, Jenny was the morning nurse. Thanks to her, she help me to get my phones up and running. I know have communication with everyone. Our afternoon was spent down at Karmanos. Here we meet my new doctor, but once again we play the Waiting Game. He needs to review my pathology slides before he can determine what type of cancer I have. So guys we won't know anything until next week. I will be going for another CAT SCAN next Wednesday.
The doctor was very nice along with his Fellow.
Another applause goes out to one of the Washington Family, Nancy T., she sent over a pot of vegetable soup, homemade bread, salad and a cake. Matt and I were so relieved, that it was waiting for us when we finally got home from the doctors. (we were there from 12-5). You all know that I hate waiting.
As we approached our house their was the UPS man delivering me more gifts. I am overwhelmed by peoples generosity. Our friends John and Lisa sent me a Frog from their gallery. Tickle (of course who is pink) is so awesome. Tears were flowing. It came at the right time, he brightened up my spirits, since we still don't know the journey we are going to be taking. Along side that gift, my girlfriend from California sent me a Willow Tree Angle, Hope. She didn't even know that people have been giving them to me since this all has started. God works in mysteries ways.
Thanks Greg for the beautiful cross. It will be with me and strengthen me as I go through this.
Don't forget to post your comments... I need to know someone's reading them.
As always remember to Live Love and Laugh!!!!

Good Evening Friend,
Again you have been in my thoughts all day...prayers especially. You have had a busy day! I agree, the waiting game is the worst! But with all your family and friends who love you, you are in good hands. Remember, you are always in His hands! Our "Awesome God" is watching over
you. Try and have a peaceful night.
Love you,
Cindy
Julie,
Glad to hear that everyone is showing you how much you're loved! You are a great friend to many people and deserving of all of the gifts and prayers and food you are receiving!
Waiting another week to find out a course of treatment is hard, but you will be getting healthier and stronger every day till then, which will be better for you in the long run as you go through treatment.
In the meantime, read those Bible class assignments and see if you can give us any insights!!
See you soon!
Love,
Gerri
Hi Julie,
Just a note to say we are still thinking about you! I read the blog first thing every morning at work (annd a lot of evenings when I should be doing homework, like right now).
I think you should put up a picture of the frog! He sounds very cute!
Love,
Karen and BT

Good morning~
Yes, I'm one of those that check in on your blog but don't send a note! So, don't give up on keeping us updated on your progress.
It was great seeing you & Matt on Saturday. Let me know when you're up for a game a scrabble - but I'm going to buy Jenny a real dictionary.
Let me know if you need anything.
Take care ` Kimberly
Jules,
I am glad you could make it to
Miles hockey game! I am sure he was thrilled to have you there!
Be patient the health industry is
made up of hurry up and wait games.
Very unpleasant to have to go
Through! I'm glad you liked Sue's angel she told me she was sending it to you and I thought it was perfect! I also have a few of those angels and I love to look at them! Keep your chin up and remember God is always with you and so are your friends!
Love Sally
Hi Lady Julie: Had to stop working and eat lunch with Grandma. your Dad mailed a gift to Dan. Grandma and Dad finished the puzzle and are ready to start another. Dad goes bowling tonight.
Hi Pink Lady: I stared this and got almost done and I hit the wrong key so I'll start again. I have lots of time but can't get anything done so Grandma did the ironing and I washed my floor. They finshed the puzle and are ready to do another one. It was good to hear you are up and out, try not to over do it. the recovery is much longer. I know all about that. How is Myles and Matt doing? Jac is on my mind and I will send her a card. Our Prayers are with you and we love you all. Mom & Dad, Grandma said Hi!
Hi Miss Julie~ Sure was great to hear your voice this morning. I'm so glad you called. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Where does the time go? Miss you! Love always, Jamie Sziisz
Julie,
You are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. I think about you everyday. I miss having you around the building. Can't waite to see you at lunch one day. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I love your blog, I check it just about every day.
Love, Jodie
Julie,
So glad to hear everyone is showering you with gifts, love, and laughter - and lots of food. I check this site every night after work, which is usually before I've had a chance to eat dinner, so the food descriptions make me hungrier! Thank you for the updates and details. It helps to be connected like this. You're in our prayers daily.
Hi MOM!
I am studying in the library right now being a good student. Just wanted to say I love you, and will see you soon. I have alot of exams in the next week, so a prayer for me. HaHa!
Stay Strong!
xoxo JAC
Hello Julie,
I feel the same way you do, I hate playing the "waiting game". You feel like your in limbo. I hope the time goes by quickly, it seems like everyone is trying to keep you busy without making you too tired. Glad to hear everyone is feeding you well, heck when I get a turn I better tune into the foodnetwork for a good menu plan. haha.
Do you have a good book to read?
Enjoy this sunshine before the snow comes!!!
Thinking about you.
