Jobs for the injured?

[XylathaneGTR]

Well, as some of you know, i was in a severe accident 7 1/2 months ago, and am still recovering.
Unfortunatly, due to continuing injuries, i am unable to return to my previous job for the time being (Retail)
It's getting to the point where i'm needing to acquire a vehicle again, so i would like to try and get back out there, and start working again. (Physio and laying around the house all day are starting to get pretty boring.)

Anyways, i was wondering if anyone had any advice or suggestions as to jobs that would work for someone in my condition. Ive been checking around a little bit, but havn't found much.
I still require crutches to walk (or a cane, for shorter amounts of time) and still do not have full control of my left leg (nerve damage.) I am also unable to lift much, due to the injuries sustained. More or less, i need something that is not physically demanding that someone who is "disabled" would be able to do.
My prognosis is full recovery, although it will take time to gain back all the strength that was lost, and the nerve damage to heal.

Any ideas/pointing in right direction guys?

I got banged pretty good and just played poker with the money I was getting paid out. Kinda risky though

Are you kidding me?! I've been on medical leave for 10 months and I haven't seen a dime from them~! I'm coming up on my 2 years with Telus. No medical insurance either... As soon as I am able to walk, I'm finding a new job~!

For a part time job, in a call center, it is great money, and a decent place to work.
