Missing the road

[arkjarhead]

Hope you all have been having fun out there. I sure do miss it. I wish I could get back out there for a lil while if only to ride. I've been in the hospital sine Jan. 19 and I'm supposed to be going home today if the dr would ever come by and say I could leave. Plus the doc is trying to say I may be unemployable. I guess I'll quit crying. Just don't take it for granted because you'll miss it when it's gone.
What I'm trying to say is that when you have a bad day and wonder why you are on the road think of me stuck at home.

How did you receive your injuries? Glad you are getting help now.

So sorry you are missing your ride! There are times when we have to be flat on our back to look up and realize what is truly important. Rest, relax and look for ways you help and encourage others so you won't feel like you are not contributing. Your reminder to the rest of us to enjoy our time on the road was very timely. People are discouraged this time of year. Get some good books to read that will keep your mind active. Hang in there!

I can understand, I'm having a tough time lately with my new marriage and a baby on the way and her mood swings. She thinks I love the road more than her, thinks she doesn't make me happy... it's been rough. I'd like to come off the road and do local work, but it's been tough to find what I consider a good paying local driving job. The baby is due end of July into August sometime, she's coming up on 4 months pregnant. She's not happy when I leave, She's not happy when I'm gone... but ona lighter note, she sure knows how to welcome me home.

I'm in the industry of make alot of money in a short amount of time, but like anything like that... you do work hard for that money.
The show must go on. Things will get better with time.
And, I'll be back just in time for her 7 months when I hear that pregnant women rip doors off cabinets and have so many frequent hormone changes that they throw stuff and don't even realize it. Lucky me!

I don't know how you got injured, but know that most drivers on here are just like you... off the road long enough and they do tend to miss it. There's a good many expediters that come from other lines of work, but have come to love it... for the rest of us drivers, we've simply got diesel runnin' thru our veins and have for a long time.

I can honestly say I can't imagine doing anything else other than driving for a living, and I hope you can get back out on the road soon...
