O.K, you are between a rock and a hard place right now. You are not getting enough real sleep at night to feel rested, you need the night feedings to maintain your caloric intake- which you can't do driving a truck during the day- and you need a steady income. So what alternatives are there? Have you applied for Disability [I can't remember]Have you explored other jobs that are not so physically demanding? Could you be a dispatcher?. Could you work driving 3 days and off 2 until you are really well? If you have a mortgage, you could go talk to your banker about a 3 to 6 month hiatus on your monthly payments [the bank doesn't want your house and they can just tack those payments on to the other end of your loan] your utility company might work with you on a levelized billing,spread put over the year,to make budgeting easier[ours does]. I know that there is a contingent here that feels that you must force yourself back into "normal", but I am not one of those. I do believe you have to work hard to recover, but I don't believe you have to push yourself past your limits of endurance[not everyone is Lance Armstrong}. Take care, Billy, you need to do what is best for you. Amy in Oz
