Hi all,
It's been a good while since I've been here, and I've been keeping myself quite occupied.
I recently spent some time in Iraq, after being called up from the army reserve. While I was over there, you might say that I lost a bit of weight.
My right leg had to be amputated just below the knee. How it happened, I'd prefer not to talk about, but that's how the cards played out for me.
I'm still going through physical therapy, and it'll probably be a little while before I'm back and up to my old antics.
At some point, I'll have to go for a DOT physical before I go back to driving. But, I've been avoiding this question for some time now, because I'm not entirely certain if I'm ready for the answer. But, it has to be asked, so..
Am I still going to be able to go back on the road, or has this effectively ended any chances of going back out there? I mean, I've noticed some rather unhealthy looking sorts out there on the road, but, as far as I know, they've all been completely intact. Regardless of whatever's said here, I'm going to go and find out firsthand, but I'd like a fair idea of what I can expect before I do. So, anyone have insight about this?
