Now see, that is the problem with a forum like this one. I have never met Tec, seen him, or even heard the sound of his voice, but I am still HURT to know he is hurt.. Prayers and only the BEST wishes for a complete and speedy recovery!
-
Prayers sent. Hope everything turns out ok.
-
Praying for our friend Tecumseh, may GOD grant you a speedy recover and it was not life threaten.
Ken
-
Same here. Praying it wasn't too serious.
-

My good wishes and thoughts for Tec and his family.
-
Praying for him. He has been a lot of help to me with his advice.
-
Any news about our good friend tec this morning?
-
Not yet. I left a message on his phone this morning. Hopefully, he or a family member will respond.
-
From a Facebook forum:
As I understand, a driver ran a red light at high speed hitting him in the drivers door. Crushed ribs. As of yesterday he was still in ICU and they were saying "long recovery."
-
thank you gypsi,
thoughts prayers and well wishes to you tec, and your family.
-
Yes, thank you Gypsi :)
I have a text in to his wife, maybe we'll have more news soon.
-
....Truck, (he called it tecumseh), is dead but I am on the mend......my old truck jumped on the grenade to save me....
Tec had an old Chevy Luv pickup (or something similar) he'd driven since the 1980's, he was really attached to it...I think the safety belt was a strand of bailing wire ;). His text showed he is in good spirits and he promised to update us when he gets home to his computer. HTH :)
-
Thank You both, and any other that comes along. Really anxious about the "old" fellow. :D
-
Life is fragile, and I guess old trucks are too. Glad to hear your on the mend, Tec.
-
I'm sure glad to hear that Tec is healing. I will continue my prayers for him.
To the other Lazy, you would like Tec. He is a small unassuming man without really good looks, but he has a presence about him that is inspiring. When he speaks of bees it is with reverence. You just feel the love of bees and people emanating from Tec. He is special, and when he responds on this forum we should all feel a bit humbled that he is with us. Go Tec.
-
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.
-
And a poet you remain Ef ~ straight from the heart
-
May the many merits of his goodness serve to speed his recovery.
Well said!
-
Speedy recovery, Tec!
-
I'm right here pulling for you Tec! Ted
-
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.

YYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

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. :laugh: :laugh:.It's great to hear your home tec, and on the mend :occasion14:. As you can see not much has changed on the forum, perry is fun to pick on. :D Jack
-
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.
Ken

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! ;D
-
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. ;)
-
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

sadly the my doctor say I can go back to work. I think she and my wife were worried I was enjoying staying at the house too much. went thru about 50 hives yesterday with frame feeders and syrup and I don't think 'the girls' missed me at all in my absence. the conditions were overcast and grey and this certainly did not make them happy when I pried apart their little homes. it does appear I may begin rearing a few queens in the next several days since I have at this time plenty of bees and bee resources.
-
yaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
-
Not sure how I missed this on its first go round, but prayers for a speedy recovery Tec
-
Not sure how I missed this either!?!? :o
Glad to hear you are up and about, still soar I am sure. Nothing is better than being able to get out of the house for some fresh air and bee therapy :yes:
Nothing like driving a big heavy vehicle for added insurance, sounds like she saved your life!
A speedy recovery to you my friend!
-
good deal! Glad to hear it. If necessary, we can give some professional opinions stating you need a few more days of rest! ;D
-
Tec, you should have been ready for the "back to work" orders---On Jan 20th I gave you six weeks for recovery and here you squeezed another week out of it--- ;D
If you handled 50 hives, you're in much better condition than I am. Maybe I should break a few ribs and get repaired by your doctor. :laugh:
Stay well!!
-
Good to hear your good news Tec. :)
-
Glad to hear you are back, stay well :eusa_clap:
-
thanks to all and yes it is good to be back doing stuff.... spring is definitely here and I grafted off my first set of queens yesterday.
-
I've just now read this thread... I'm glad you've done so well and I'm sorry that you "get" to go back to work.
I'm also pretty impressed that you've been driving your '92 Dodge since the 80's! That's even more impressive than your speedy recovery. :D
