Hello all,

I am happy to share that I have been back living in Falls Church, VA since late July. I have been mostly home bound due to restrictions from the doctors (no driving, minimize sun exposure, etc.), but it is sure nice to be home! I feel close to 100% and am able to do all daily activities around the house without feeling short of breath or have any issues whatsoever. 

This past Friday (8/10), Gil Jr. and I went to my weekly appointment with the doctor. She informed me that I was allowed to try driving over the weekend, and if I felt comfortable, I am allowed to drive short distances. Laura was my co-pilot, we went driving around a neighborhood and I felt great behind the wheel, reaction time felt good and everything felt natural. With that, I am able to drive short distances around Northern Virginia during non-rush hour, which gives me a lot of freedom!

Overall it feels great to be living back in Northern Virginia with Laura, back to our "normal" life. I am still off work and will likely continue to be off until November or so (will depend on what the doctors say). With that said, the doctors are very happy with my progress and feel positive about everything. 

As always, thank you to everyone who has followed this crazy journey!
