Weather Woes

I never thought I'd spend so much time this winter fixated on the weather. But since we travel weekly to Seattle, winter road conditions are always on our minds.  

We've only had to travel to Seattle via Portland once because of a Snoqualmie Pass closure. Other times, when we are ready to return home, and the pass is closed, we just spend the night there.

So yesterday, knowing that Snoqualmie Pass had been closed for two days, then finding out that our alternate route through Portland/I-5 was also closed, I almost started laughing. What more!!!!!

The upshot is that I'm taking a Horizon flight to Seattle this time.

This is turning into "Planes, Trains and Automobiles."

I haven't mentioned that we did see my oncologist, Dr. Gadi, last week. (Information about him http://depts.washington.edu/oncology/facultypages/gadi.html

After I complete five more chemo treatments in this initial round, I will have more tests and Dr. Gadi will consult with Dr. Javid, our surgical oncologist, to determine if I need more chemo or if I'm ready for surgery.
