Just got home off the road. The trucking thing has been going better than I had hoped. The boss fixed me up with a nice new truck and I spent a few days running some local loads just to get back into the swing a little bit and test myself as to whether I could actually still do it.
While there are some things I have to do a bit differently to accomodate the bum hip, overall it went quite well. I discovered I can't just jump up on the trailer like I used to, or down either for that matter. That made things a little difficult at times, but I will be taking a small step ladder with me when I leave this time which should solve that problem.
The driving is pretty good although I do have to stop every 3 or 4 hours to stretch my legs and loosen up the hip. I can live with that.
I do have to admit that it felt pretty damn good to be back on the road again. I now truly feel that I've made some progress on recovering from the wreck and getting at least some part of my life back.
