Taking another swing at it

Got my doctor to say once I’m on my long term medication dosage (usually 6 months post operation) she will write a letter stating I can operate a CMV without restriction. I can then use that at a DOT physical and get my med card back and CDL current. (Thinking December to be safe)

I realize I’ll probably have to go out with a trainer for a refresher before I can hop back in a seat, unless I land local or can rent/lease a day cab and do short haul stuff…those add up.

 

I can live with that

 

I’m going stir crazy with nothing to do but sit at home

 

And…just got the call my Dad has Alzheimer’s disease. Advancing quickly. There’s a medication to help but it makes him feel sick so he won’t take it. I think I need to take next weekend and stay over at his place to see if my stepmom has a list of options

 

I know he should apply for disability immediately as it’s retroactive to application date. Probably get SSI immediately. not sure what else to do.

 

Hardest pill to swallow is realizing you mean nothing to people who mean a lot to you

 

Now my water heater needs replaced at home.

 

Mandatory overtime my first week back to work
