Well our trip was cut short due to a slight realignment of the cars aerodynamics. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt, but I get to wear the neck brace for whiplash….
I don’t recall that anywhere in the manual book this was given as an option, so I’m having it changed back to its original shape.
But we are back for now an will be back on the road when the car is fixed and the neck brace is off, so till then I’m back to bother you all on your posts, so start blogging again I’m back..
Mind you I see you were all busy the last ten days or so, nearly filled my email box completely, I actually did not know I could get so much mail in a box… if this had have been the old days they would have delivered my post in a sack… any way nice to be back, didn’t take too many photos .. worked too much but I do have some to share…
The Photographic Journey of bulldog. 
Hope you are healing. I must say your wording “due to a slight realignment of the cars aerodynamics” made me laugh out loud. I love how you put words, phrases, sentences, etc. together. Your humor cracks me up. Especially at a time like this when you are in an accident, a neck brace and you are finding humor in it all. God speed on recovering!
I’m fully recovered as has my car… dodging women drivers now though… I know they all want to meet me, but not by denting the car…
You make me laugh out loud! Women drivers here in America leave much to be desired! LOL
Oh, my dear bulldog – I’m sorry the mishap was bad enough to put an end to your trip, AND put you in a neck-brace. Lets hope the car’s fixed now so you can go on that trip into the wild next week. 🙂
The neck is fixed still waiting for the car… but I believe it is nearly ready…
Oh dear Rob, I heard now, I hope you are better now. God saved you… This is so scary. Get well soon. Love, nia
Thanks Nia… the neck is fine now, but they car is still being repaired…
I’m sure you’ve heard enough “sorry about your accident and hope you’re feeling better.” So I won’t say it. Glad you’re back, but too bad it took an accident to get you here. And I thought the jungle was the unsafe place for you to be… 😉
I’m feeling much better… did a little self chiro work and now all is well…
Ooh, cracking your neck…braver man than I am. Well, you know what I mean!
Didn’t do it on purpose, totally by mistake but glad I did…
Not a nice sight at all but I am very glad you hear you are all okay Rob. 😀
Thanks Sonel… all well now…
Since we have been working a seasonal gig I have not been blogging much as of late. Sleep is a much greater needed commodity right now. I am so happy to hear that neither you nor Linda were injured seriously and hope you are out of your neck brace soon. Sorry there was damage to your car but, as we know, those things can be fixed much easier than our bodies.
Thanks LuAnn… had a bad neck movement the other day.. a loud crack ensued and the neck has been right ever since… did my own chiropractic work it seems… but thanks for the well wishes… now all I need is my car back and I’m ready to go again…
Don’t like, too scary. Hope your neck, spine and muscles heal soon.
They are definitely on the mend…
Excellent, lots of birds out there waiting to be photographed.
Couldn’t press the like button. I don’t like. I have been in two accidents where I managed to total my cars. Whiplash is no joke. My first accident was 20 years ago and I still have pain and difficulty in my neck. I will be praying for a speedy recovery and no lingering after effects, Bulldog!
Thank you… but sat badly and turned my head.. there was a loud crack in my head and since things I’m feeling just so much better… don’t know what I did, but seemed to have fixed it… just a little stiffness left now that’s all…
Then count yourself lucky, Bulldog! You could have spent hundreds of dollars on a chiropractor to do that for you. Something in your neck was out of alignment and you inadvertently fixed it yourself. 😉
Glad you’re feeling better!
Not OK! I’m so sorry! I hope you’re getting some rest and recuperation! Whiplash is serious business! 😦
Yes I’m following orders and don’t spend too much time behind the computer which seems to aggravate the pain… but things seem to be improving and the car should be finished early next week… but thank you for your kind sentiments…
Oh, I’m so sorry about your accident and injury, bulldog. Do get well soon. What a shame about your lovely new car! I didn’t want to like this post,but thought it might help you get better faster, if I did. 😀
Thank you… I’m on the mend, as is the car… first accident in 46 years, next one in 46 years from now…
Gosh, sorry to hear that. I hope you heal quickly so you can get back to it!
I’ll be alright I’m sure.. the car will be fixed by early next week can’t wait to get it back feel kinda lost without it… had to re follow you… don’t know how you managed to slip under my radar and disappear…
Well that’s good to hear! Yes, we have become dependent on our transportation (and our mobile devices) 🙂
No telling – strange things happen on the internet…..
Well, I’ve seen the car now and found out that you are okay. That’s good news. I missed the whole damn thing… Story of me life…
Thanks George… yes the car is in for repairs and hopefully I’m on the road to recovery, if Friday comes and I’m not feeling on the mend then it will have to be the expensive scans and X rays…
Did you self-treat yourself and buy the neck brace, or did a doctor prescribe it? When I hurt my neck I bought myself a neck brace, but when I wore it into my doctor’s office he told me I was doing more harm than good.
I was told to get one by paramedics and to see my Doctor on returning to home… I saw our neighbour who is a Doctor (specialising in brain) and he told me to throw it away, weakens the neck muscles he tells me, I must just take it easy and not even do any exercises but to rest the neck that’s all. He says it should recover itself in a few weeks, I like he added don’t have another accident within 6 weeks, I told him this is my first in 46 years I don’t plan to have another before 46 more years… I had it off yesterday and it certainly is more comfortable, the pain is still there as well as the stiffness, but I’m taking it easy…
Sorry about your accident and whiplash, Bulldog – Glad to see you’re back! Car looks nasty! Hope you recover soon.
Thanks Puppy… we are on the mend…
Ag no! that is awful! The neck brace and the car I mean. Its nice having you back 🙂
Thank you… it’s in a way good to be back… just wish the circumstances were different…
Sorry! Take care.
Thanks I will
That must have been a fright! Be careful with that whiplash and feel better soon.
Thanks Marion… it’ll get better…
I was happy to see when you commented on my blog, but then I learned why you’re back early. Oh no, I’m so glad to hear no one was seriously injured and I wish you a speedy recovery. Take care
Thanks TBM… I’ll be right as rain soon I’m sure of that…
Terrible to learn of your injury and the damage to your car Bulldog, but glad you’re safe and on the mend!
All will be well soon… that I’m sure of…thank you..
Oh my, that’s a nasty dent in your car…after reading all the comments and well wishes, it’s good to see you still have your sense of humor. Now it’s time to mend…hopefully you’ll heal quickly with no residual problems.
Thanks Mrs.P. this old neck will be healed of that I’m sure… then its back on out again to dodge all and sundry that are trying to run into me..
Bulldog, I’m so sorry about your accident. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Thanks whitelady… I’ll heal I’m sure…
Rob please check out the wikihow site for this page. How to use physical therapy to recover from whiplash. all best wishes with healing thoughts, Shelley
Will go and have a look at the site… my problem is I do have a previous injury from school days that every now and then flares and causes migraines… and I think this has just given it a bit of a come back…
Bulldog by name, Bulldog by spirit, I am sure you will pull through quickly. Welcome back! I wish you a speedy recovery.
Got a Bulldog neck as well which makes the wearing of a collar a bit difficult… lol
So glad it wasn’t worse, my friend. Love and hugs to you and Linda and I’m glad you’re both back … even for a while.
Thanks Gina… as the car hit Linda’s side I’m glad she has no injury… I’ll be alright I think it is just an aggravation of an old injury I have…
Thank Cat you’re still here, Bulldog! This was some scrary news. Sending healing pawkisses your way for a speedy recovery 🙂
Thank you… the dog will be up and running again soon I’m sure
Thank goodness you will be okay once your neck heals. As long as in the end – wounds and injuries heal, then it’s a lot easier to bear with the healing process than if the injury won’t heal.
best wishes for a quick recovery,
Genie
Thanks Genie… I’ll be alright, thanks for the wishes…
Welcome back (for now). Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks Louisa… I’m sure I will be…
Well welcome back bulldog, but sorry you’ve been hurt. Hope you’re not in too much pain, and you feel better soon. In the meantime im sure you’ll enjoy catching up on all those emails. 🙂
Deleted all the emails and decided I’ve enough time on my hands to go through all those that I follow and catch up…. but thanks for the wishes… I hope it doesn’t hold out too long…
Well I hope not too. Take care and get some rest 🙂
Glad you’re okay. Hope you recover quickly.
Thanks Maralee… with no car it will be lots of rest so should be good for me… just the shops are too far away and the chocolate is gonna run out soon…
Welcome home – even if unexpectantly and temporarily and very very very glad you are both ok. The car, well the car will cope just glad it is just the car with all those dents!
You can say that again… not sure I’d like to have such a big hole in my side… thank you… actually quite glad to be back.. tend to miss home these days…
Oh no! I m glad that no one was badly injured. Get well soon!
Thank you.. I’m glad it was only me that needs the brace…
Welcome back Bulldog! But I would have prefer you return healthy and later over soon and in a neck brace. Best wishes for a speedy and safe recovery.
Thanks very much Frank… golf is definitely out at the moment…
Ouch .. .and sales, promotions, etc … Meanwhile, I have two posts in my Recent Posts box (sidebar, upper right) that you may enjoy … premier and flanders.
Thanks Frank will take a look around tomorrow…
Happy that you are back, happy you weren’t hurt too badly, hoping you feel better and aligned yourself soon 🙂
Thank you… I hope so too… just would be easier if they could panel beat me too… the car might be better before I am…
Wow! What bad luck you had there. Hope the neck and eyesight get back to normal soon. Take it easy.
Thank you… I must say the brace has improved my pain levels in some areas… hope by Friday it is all just so much better…
Oh my! I hope you feel better soon. I’m glad it wasn’t more serious. Welcome back!
Thanks Diana… I’m glad out of everyone I’m the only one injured and that not badly… as the car struck Linda’s side of the car…
Oh wow! Must have been frightening when it happened though…
I just threw my underpants away… lol
LMAO!!!
Thank you for the update, bulldog. I was wondering what happened to the two of you. I’m saddened to learn of your mishap. May you heal well and fast–your car too. I’m glad that Linda is ok.
Russ
Thanks Russ, it was a bit frustrating as our connection where we stayed was pathetic and I struggled just keeping up with my work commitments… I’m sure I’ll be alright, well I certainly hope so and I thank the Good Lord for Linda being ok as the car hit us on her side…
I am so sorry this happened. 😦 You are so blessed to have Linda….so heed her instruction! Praying you heal quickly and r e s t. ♥ paula
She is a bit Mother Hen at the moment and keeps telling me I’m hard headed… pity I’m not hard necked… lol
She taking care of you….just like you take care of her. Roll with it! It takes some time.
Shortly after we moved back to Okla….a gal ran a light and t-boned me. Took a while to pop back….and I am still non-trusting of autos at traffic lights!
Oh no! That’s not good! Be sure to get the neck taken care of until it is 100% again. I made the mistake of not getting better treatment for whiplash eons ago and have suffered hugely ever since. Whiplash can be much more serious than people think, if you don’t get it treated. Make sure your neck is aligned right and get physio if it’s called for. I’m so sorry this has happened to you, but glad it wasn’t worse.
Thanks Anneli… I had a head to head accident in a swimming pool as a kid… I dived in and hit someone surfacing… my neck got a bit mis aligned then and I have suffered a lot with neck problems since then… this just seems to have caused an old injury to flare up again, but I have promised the family to have the X rays done if it hasn’t improved by Friday, my eye sight has taken a bit of a wonky hit with this as well which apparently is a result of the whiplash and taking photos is now almost impossible (can’t see any thing through the view finder). The shoulder pain has got less since the neck brace is in place so I’m praying it improves as those scans and X rays could set me back a good few thousand…
Whatever it costs, you need to get fixed up. I always regretted not insisting on getting better treatment for my neck. That’s awful to have re-injured an old weakness. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Hope it works out well for you.
DON’T SCARE US LIKE THIS EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope your poor neck is feeling like new right away…..
Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The name Bulldog does also refer to my almost none existing neck that has always been so strong that now seems to not like swing around uncontrolled… and yet I whip my head around every-time I see a pretty girl, don’t know what happened this time, but I’ll survive to live another day… it is my first accident and I’ve been driving for 46 years, seems a shame to break such a long standing record… but full of smiles and laughing so I’ll be alright…
I’m glad to hear that if you HAD to have a first accident, this was the extent of your injuries…I’m guessing Linda is unscathed????
I’m sure your neck has plenty more “girl watching” in it…but I know whiplash is painful too…so pamper yourself a little…(Think chocolate)..
So sorry about your neck! I have missed you.
Thanks Julie… I’m sure it will be ok… not the way to meet people they tell me…
Do be careful out there… there are CRAZY people out!!!
You can say that again… but please don’t… lol
Holy crap Bulldog!!!! So glad to hear you are ok, but what the heck happened? You didn’t hit one of those beautiful animals you are always taking pictures of did you? Take it easy and eat tons of chocolate. You’ll be good as new before you know it :).
No managed to hit a women’s car or should I say she hit me… wanted desperately to take her photo and couldn’t think of any other way of getting her to stop… lol
Distracted by a hot woman eh? LOL!! Bad boy :).
We missed you! ! Sorry you are laid up a bit! How long before you get the car back?
They say next week so I am on a forced rest for a week or two, oh well that is what Linda wanted me to do so now I have no option…
I am praising God you and Linda were not terribly hurt; although, I am sorry you are in a brace. You have been missed around WordPress greatly. Excited you will be back even if it is just for a bit of time. It is so good to hear your humor again!! I will be praying for healing–both for you and the car. 🙂
Thanks Skye… I’m sure all will be alright… Linda has wanted me to take it easy since the accident, and now that we are back and are car-less I have no option but to listen to her… so it’s back to sitting and doing very little till we have transport… don’t know who’s gonna buy me chocolate and the shops are too far to walk to… lol
Oh, if I could, I would heard right over there with a huge box of the finest I could find!! Well, sometimes God puts us on our backs so all we can do is look up. Just enjoy time with Him and catching up here if you feel led. It is so good to see that blue shirt back on my screen!! I am so thankful you were both not hurt!!!! God is so good!
So sorry to hear about all of this. I’ve been missing from blogville for ages. Opened a shop to raise funds for the shelters and it’s been taking up all my time. Good to be back for a brief moment though. Wishing you a speedy recovery
Thank you so much… I’m sure it will come right…
Accipicchia, mi dispiace per questa disavventura. Curati bene il collo mi raccomando!!
Un abbraccio, Pat
Thanks Patrizia… I’m sure it will be alright…
The redesign isn’t really successful, so it is as well you are going back to original!
I do agree with you on that Col… but why was this comment spammed.???
As will be seen from one of my recent posts, suddenly all my comments were going to the spam folder for no reason I could fathom. Aksimet finally sorted it out.
Sorry to hear about your mishap, but good to see you haven’t lost your wit! – looking forward to your new your posts and photos.
Thanks Brian… what can one do but make light of it… I wish it had not happened but it did…
Great to see you back but sorry to hear about the car accident. Take care of your neck…(Suzanne)
Thank you… precautionary at the moment and does help with the pain.. on the mend I reckon
Get well soon 😦
Thanks Paula….
