When I first started posting on a bee forum, Tecumseh was one of the very first people who befriended me. I'm not good at describing personalities, but "Tec" was all friendship and good humor--- always in a pleasant way. Never crude, never insulting, always educational.
My prayers join together with all of you on his behalf. May the many merits of his goodness serve to speed his recovery.

last update I saw he only broke 4 ribs and had 4 more bruised, much better than crushed for sure. He is not going to be getting around fast for a month or 2, but little truck took the worst of the impact. He and Mark are exchanging jokes about healing "at his age" so I'm thinking all will be well

Gypsi, can you post a link to that FB page please?

Praying for you Tec.

thanks to all for the kind thoughts and if you are so inclined the prayers. after several days in the hospital I am now home mending but at my age that will be a slow process. my old truck tecumseh (a 92 one ton Dodge) likely did save my life but sadly is now headed for the bone yard. it is time like this when you come to fully appreciate the number of folks who offer to come to your assistance and lazy shooter is exactly correct that all of my fellow bee keepers concern is greatly humbling.

Tec, I'm really glad to see that you are up to writing to the forum. Anyone who has never cracked a rib is totally unaware of the extreme agony involved with every shift of position. To sit up and type your note must have required super-human determination on your part. Four ribs---that's incomprehensible.
Hold on for about six weeks and you should be good as new. In the meantime, let our empathy try to reduce your pains. We're with you and glad that the four wheeled Tecumseh sacrificed itself to absorb the impact that would have been much worse on the two legged Tecumseh.

My lawnmower has a 6.5 horse tecumseh powering it. The self propelled part is gone but the motor just won't quit!

Hey good buddy perry, have you let a lighter person on your lawn mower? The self propelled part may not be broke after all.

.It's great to hear your home tec, and on the mend

. As you can see not much has changed on the forum, perry is fun to pick on.

Very glad Tecumseh that no more happen to you than what did. I sure hope you have got someone that will help you with the bees until you can go at them yourself, if I was closer I would be glad to help. Just rest up until you heal good. Here for you in prayer and mind.

Having a broken rib, or more than one certainly forces you to a perfect understanding of JUST how much you use those muscles.. and that would involve doing ANYTHING!!! And whatever it takes, do NOT forget and sneeze!! Something so simple will bring TEARS quickly...
Get well! Spend some time looking for a replacement truck! Gives you something to do and look forward to... I have to admit, I was Horrified when I read that Tecumseh was dead.. I had to read it three times to understand it was the truck.. that was a VERY WHEW moment.. I am thankful you are still with us, and as always, am begging you to dispense the immense reserve of knowledge on your humble followers!

well thanks again for the kind thought from everyone and ALL should know HERE I likely learn as much from you as the other way around. I do put a lot of effort into listening to folks concerns and their individual approach to problems and in almost ALL THINGS have never thought that there was only one way to resolve a problem or that everyone's purpose in keeping bees was the same. Love you guys for your collective concern.

Welcome home tec, happy to hear from you!

Also glad to hear you were not driving your little truck as I had assumed. Nice to be wrong this time.

Lazy, sorry for the heart test in my post above.

Slowmodem · « **Reply #38 on:** January 21, 2015, 10:41:24 am »

Hey hey hey! Seems like things are going your way!

I know it's much better to be home and out of the hospital. I hope you have a speedy recovery. It'll be time to be out with the bees soon, so get well.

Listening to other folks has become a rare trait. Among others, that could be one of reasons people value your posts.
Glad to hear from you, wish you a speedy recovery
