The end of the road

[Getnthair]

As I'm more of an observer than a contributor to TAW it was always good to see what you were up to.

If you can still bring your drive, determination and dedication to your next career then you will do well.

Look after yourself - and all the best.

One other question, what you doing with the collection of millwalkie tools ?
Asking for a friend

Im going to put them on a shelf next to my bed

Good luck with the future. Sorry to hear about the back - I fell off a shed roof about 8 years ago and I'm very very lucky I didn't get injured worse although I did break my sacrum.

They say to alleviate back pain try to sit down as little as possible and walk plenty. I'm only saying this as with your new job if you are doing lots of driving or sitting in front of computer really try hard to make sure you can improve your back. I recommend weights too - even if you think your back can't handle it (obvs get special advice) but very often pain in one part of the back is because its carrying extra effort or twists in another area - get it working!

I don’t find driving so bad to be honest. Watching tv is the worst because you tend to slouch. It isn’t all sitting and driving with my job, there’ll be a lot of walking around sites.
yes I go to a fancy physio and he has me doing weighs and all sorts.

I saw this on Facebook, it's a great shame, I've oft admired your work, but you've done it for the right reason.

Best of luck in your future job.
You'll have more time to contribute to the drivel on here hopefully!

All the best for the future

How did you break your back?

 

[Deerefarmer]

Don't know you, but I always enjoyed your posts on here, looked like you did good work and would have been a great leader to work with. You're making a good decision,take care of yourself

It's not the end of the road, you've came to a fork in the road
All the best

yeah I realised after that end of the road was wrong. It’s a new adventure and I’m excited for the new challenge

Jaysus, you should play the lottery. I've met people who broke their back/neck from only a 9 feet fall. You are lucky to be alive man.

when I was in my ward in hospital there was a guy in a bed opposite me tripped up three steps from the bottom of his stairs, he’d never walk again ?

I just looked like this for a few days

Cripes alive. Enough ladders and manual work for you now then my man. Blood coming out of your ears is not usually a good sign. I'm sure many forum members will agree that we are very glad you are still in one piece.

Get yourself trained to design buildings etc in an office no?

 

[Extreme Optimist]

Really sorry to hear this Rob. Good luck for the future.
Looking on the bright side, you fell off the building when you were in your 20's.......you bounce much less well when you are in your 50's!!! All the best!

 

[Exfarmer]

Gosh that looks bad, goad you came through! Best wishes in your new venture, and keep commenting on here. You always gave good advice.

It’s not the fall that hurts, it’s the landing part....

You aren’t wrong

When you posted the picture of that idiot who wouldn't move his car and you boxed him in with the pipe channels I almost pi$$Ed myself! Probably the best post I've seen on the TFF!!

Your showing maturity for taking the hard decision to stop a job you love and are clearly good at.

Old boy once told me "don't look back with regret, just look forward with fond memories"

All the best!
