It’s warming up and things are melting, but I remember how this usually works in these parts: the temperature will shoot up to about 50°F and we’ll have a nice hard rain. That way things will melt too quickly and we’ll get proper flooding. Right now it’s about 38°F and it’s melting slowly.

I was supposed to have a doctor’s appointment today, and I couldn’t get through to cancel it. My doctor actually apologized about the broken phones. He called to tell me I didn’t need to see him until I was on the Gleevec for a week and he heard that I’d been having some delays. The paperwork was finally straightened out and the drugs are on order. It’s in Fred Meyer’s hands now. Yay!

The only scary bit was when I first found out I’ll be taking Gleevec for the rest of my life, or until they stop working. I’m hoping that’s a long time.
