Quarantine and Me

I had my last Y90 treatment almost 3 weeks ago.  I have almost fully recovered from that treatment.  Still occasional pains and just feeling blah but it seems to be less with more times if feeling good.  I get pretty tired around 6:00 - 7:00 at night but I really haven’t done much physical activity for a long time.  I haven’t chatted with the doc since my last treatment so I am not sure what the next steps will be.  If I were to guess it would be a new set of scans to see what is happening inside and then make decisions from there.  For now I am just going to enjoy the good days.

How has this quarantine affected me?  First the family our vote me and decided to get a dog.  Her name is Koda and the kids seem to be enjoying her.

 
I have been pretty fortunate to be able to work from home for the most part.  It has been a real blessing and I will probably do it for the next little while until we start seeing some results from opening things back up.  I am pretty comfortable going out in public and being outside but when going into store or places with a few more people I am cautious and put a mask on.  My wife custom made me one and I know everyone is jealous of it.
The rest of the family is doing great.  We are done with home schooling which our kids rocked.  They either didn’t learn as much or were way more efficient in their learning because most only spent a couple of hours a day on school work.  The problem with that was they get bored and start to drive you crazy.  Good thing we have a dog so they can drive her crazy rather than me and Jen.  
Also, one last shot out to all those who gave their lives for us at any point in time.  I saw a quote that resonated with me.  “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” - G.K. Chesterton
