A severe case of Honeymoon back.....

Hi,
I'm typing this horizontal as I've broken my back on a boat trip in south africa. I apparantly can't lift anything heavier than a kettle for three months, so not much photography for me but plenty of tea!
Great to see the fine work on this site, and enjoy the canon-nikon banter. It took me ages to type this so sorry for no comments.

Regards

Tim Munsey

Tim,

Had wondered, look forward to your full recovery and to seeing your fine images back on the forum.... in the meantime don't drink too much tea.....



Phil

Sorry to hear about your back Tim. I hope that it mends soon.

Best regards
Andrew Stagg

Hello Tim
Really sorry to hear of your injury, take it easy and have a successful recovery.
Very best wishes
Phil

Sorry to hear about you back Tim,I had wondered why you had not been up on UKNP,get well soon

Regards

Blimey Tim, can't imagine how painful that must have been! I hope that you have not gone stir-crazy by the time you are ready to go out and about again. I certainly went a little peculiar after a month in doors Wishing you a speedy and trouble-free recovery...

Just to add my best wishes for a quick recovery.

Mark

Bad luck Tim. surely a rather extreme way of getting out of the housework?
Hope the recovery goes well.
Best wishes Peter

Thought you'd been eaten by lions matey

All the best for a speedy recovery - and never mind what Phil says, drink plenty of tea - you can always opt for the catheta approach

I told you to stay safe but you didn't listen did you

Get well soon matey

Ouch hope your better soon... nothing more heavy than a kettle?

Hmm so i guess a 400D/D40 and a 70-300IS/VR could be in your future ;)

sounds painful - ideal excuse for working on your web site I guess!

Get well soon...

Get well soon mate, looking forward to seeing your fine images on the site again!

Regards Chris.

Get well soon... wondered where you had been...

Hi Tim

That is terrible news - wishing you all the best for a speedy and complete recovery!

David

Hope you are back on your feet soon Tim, All the best mate

Dave

Tim, Sorry to hear about the back - good luck and a speedy recovery!

Adrian

Ouch! Sorry to hear that.

Get well soon - hopefully you'll be able to make it to the conference again in Jan.... something to work towards in Physio perhaps!

I'm sorry to hear about your accident. Enjoy your tea and make it plenty and slowly while you are recovering. When you'll be back into photography, you'll not have this time luxury anymore .

Cheers,
Marko

Hey thanks all, I have some 3000 photos to process from the trip, been given permission to get a laptop to do them on. I'm thinking apple notebook as I like their screens, what you lot think? This 4 year toshiba has a poor screen.
Cheers again

Tim

Hi Tim

That's a painful way to justify a new laptop!

Hope the injury heals soon

cheers

Sean

How did you manage to do that Tim?

Hope you make a full and speedy recovery Your images are missed.

Sorry to hear of your injury Tim. Get well soon and in the meantime don't overdo the tea. Good excuse to upgrade the Notebook too

Rob

Well done Justin, I too was wondering how you did it Tim...does no-one else care?? Perhaps I'm really nosey!!! Was it honeymoon connected?

Look forwarded to your images

Don't embarass the poor guy by asking

If you get a Mac, go for a MacBookPro - they'll last you a bit longer than the MacBook. And don't forget to use the Ed. Discount too - it's worth it! One word of caution, don't buy any Apple software using Ed. Disc. as you don't get Upgrades/reductions - you have to buy again when the next version is out. (You do however get *updates*).

Hi Justin and Graeme,
It was part of our tour to do a boat trip with a view to see whales, so off we went. At sea the skipper was caught by surprise by an enormous wave (20 to 30 foot high) he turned into it otherwise the open boat stood no chance, and up we went, at the top I felt the boat disappear beneath me but I soon rejoined it breaking my back on a bench. I have three broken vertebrae, one a wedge fracture and one a beginning of a burst type with a crack along its length. Yes it did and does hurt, we're lucky to be alive and i'm lucky only bones are broken.

Tim

Hi Tim,

That is a real toe curler . Sounds really horrendous, bad whiplash is very painfull so can't imagine what it is like for you. Wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are up and about as quickly as possible, keep up your great sense of humour and that will help you get through.

Best wishes

Rob

PS not got a clue what the best laptop would be

Bloody hell Tim Hope the pain eases up soon and you get back to full health as soon as possible.

Indeed, echo Justin...

An idea for the new Laptop is to get a small graphics pad, will probably make editing your pictures a little easier.....

Good luck & speak soon

Phil

wot!! and you didn't get a photo of it at all ???
only joking. bad luck that, but presume the old spinal cord is OK? Hope so. good story for the grandchildren mind.
All the best Peter

Heck, ouch, glad you in one piece! Sounds like a lucky escape.

I agree with Phil, a tablet laptop may be easier?

Holy moly thats horrible for you(or anyone)

Get well soon Tim

Tim,

Sorry to hear about your accident. Get well soon.

Rob

The new wife said you'll do bloody anything to get out of decorating when you get back I hope you get well soon.


Phillip.

Blimey!!!! Sounds horrendous!!!

Hope Nikon bring something out with wheels!

Crikey Tim

Horrific event, and glad you are still around to tell the tale!!

Alan

Tim that sounds painful hope you have a speedy recovery.

Regards

get the macbook pro with a matt screen
