I got the results from my MRI today and it says that I have "Bone degeneration and bulging discs on multiple levels". This of course is in my neck. This is by far the worst news I've heard in a while and dont know what to do. Should I wait it out and see if its going to get any better and try to keep trucking? Right now its pretty painful and its hard to turn my head to the left. Good thing the injury happened at work, but i'm only getting $620 a week from disability so its hard to pay all the bills. And what if I try to drive again and the injury keeps me from driving? And this all had to happen before Christmas. But even in this trying time I still remember what God did for me by sending his son to die for my sins, and you know what......, it makes all this turmoil seem like nothing. God bless and Merry Christmas!!

I am sorry to hear about your neck, 4Given. If you decide to sell your truck, perhaps you could buy some real estate and generate some additional income.

Thats a great idea, thanks GMAN!! I'll check into that. I might try to become a frieght broker also.

G-Man's idea of buying real estate is great! That market - for most of the country - is in the toilet so you might be able to find a good deal on an income producing duplex, triplex or quad. As to the value of your truck..........it is worth what someone will pay you for it :lol:

Your best bet is to sell to a private party rather then a dealer or wholesaler. Both of those guys will need to make a profit when they flip it so that means they have to pay less for it. An end user would be willing to pay more since he (or she) will be the one that runs it. You might try e-bay motors. I look at their auctions frequently and am sometimes amazed at the high prices people pay for trucks. The heavy truck trader is also an option.

BOL on the neck and what ever you decide to do.

Thanks for the input Lex, hopefully I will figure something out. Im going in for physical therapy tomorrow and I will see if there is something I can do that will let me drive again. Thanks again!!

Some advise. If someone yells out "Hey look, it's Paris Hilton"...DO NOT turn your head quick to look.

Check into a therapy called "compression" or something like that. I think it is new and through certain chiropractors. Think outside the box and check into everything. New stuff comes out and then not all MDs know about it or recommend it. Don't just trust one MD or place. Exhaust all possibilities, with the knife being the very last on the list.
