I hope you get better. I'm sorry you had such a major injury.
As for reading, I find I don't always have to concentrate as much as I would with an audiobook. I can read while watching TV sometimes. It does depend on the book. Some books do require a lot more concentration then others. And some books require a lot of stamina to not fall asleep.
The book I am reading now is a combination of bits are OK, bits are good, and bits are dull. I'm reading it for a book club or I would have stopped reading it.
