Travel plans!

We plan on leaving early Sunday morning. Probably around 2am. Then swing by and pick up my sister and we will be Jacksonville bound! A good friend of mine let me know that it was a 9hr trip, but we won't be in any hurry. We have a room booked at a Best Western, about 5mi from Mayo Clinic. Thanks to all the wonderful people I go to school with, friends, and family, this trip is paid for and we shouldn't have any out-of-pocket expense, not our own pocket anyway. Just people making contributions at school, and the hotdog sale, we have over $1,400.00. God has blessed me tremendously! It really touches my heart that there are so many people care about me and want me to get well! I mean, there are guys at my school that have gave me $100-$200, and don't know me, other than I'm the one that the fundraisers are for. If it weren't for me asking, I wouldn't have even known their names! There have been donations from Sunday school classes, from the night classes at school. It just amazes me to no end! Thank you all! My appointment with the dr isn't until 8:30 Monday morning, but I have to be there at 7:30 for lab work. I'm getting a little nervous, I still have no idea what to expect. We don't know when we will be able to come home because we don't know what the game plan is exactly. They could run some tests and send me home, or they may already have a treatment plan in mind and want to start me right away. Either way, I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to go. So for everyone wondering how long we will be down there, I have no clue! Your guess is as good as mine! I do pray that I will be home by the 10th, that's when school starts. The twins will be in 3rd grade and my baby will be starting kindergarten!! I also pray that I will be home on the 25th of August, I will be graduating school that evening, and it's something very important to me to be able to walk across the stage. I'm very proud of myself for going to school, even if it was technical school and not a 4yr program.
Some of you may wonder how I'm doing physically. I've been feeling really good lately, except for yesterday and it was not so good. It could have been worse, but I just wasn't feeling good, at all. Both sides we're hurting all day, my shoulder has really been bothering me for some reason. My oncologist said that the cancer in my liver could cause some shoulder pain, although I don't understand that really, I don't know if it's that or if I have lifted something that has got it sore. My energy level has been a little better since I haven't had any chemo in several weeks.
I don't like asking for prayer, but this is one time I am asking. Pray that we have a safe trip and pray that I can be as calm as possible, lol! Thanks for the prayers thus far, and good thoughts!
