My shoulder surgery was 11December07. I was out of work 20 weeks
recovering from it. The past 8 weeks I have been driving my Toyota
Corolla for work, delivering small packages and envelopes for the local
courier company that I contract with. Monday, 07July08, I will be
getting back into the big truck, perhaps a bit early, but the
opportunity is there now. It is a Kenworth T-300, a dock truck or
straight truck. You see these trucks on the highways everyday, just
shorter than a semi, the cab is attached, not separate. I will just
have to remain cautious about pallets that are too heavy or working
overhead. The truck is available now and appears to be a reasonable
deal. Also driving the decision is the budget. The 20 weeks of nothing
and the 8 weeks of coming up short by $200-$300 have affected many
things in our life. So here is the opportunity to jump the income back
up while hopefully the summer remains busy. If not for the generosity
of friends and loved ones, in excess of $7000 I believe, I don't know
how we would have ended up. I thank God for people responding in such a
positive way as he moved on their hearts to help us through this, both
financially and emotionally. For those who have not seen it, there is a chronology of this time and a list of blessings, ongoing, that you can see if you are interested. Scroll down to the section called, 2008 Road To Recovery, at: http://truthdriven.8.forumer.com Thanks also to all those here who have been such an encouragement to me, helping me to persevere through the physical portion of this recovery. As the motto in the movie, Meet the Robinsons, says, Keep Moving Forward! Sarge |
Yep...keep on truckin'! Many best wishes and continued recovery!
