Get well, PacAce!

[Curtis N]

PacAce, a.k.a. Leo, the moderator who maintains sanity in the flash forum, inventor of the Delux Bowl-a-tron Duo Diffuser (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=3929628&postcount=49), author of some great instructional threads on wireless E-TTL and Osprey shooter extraordinaire, has been absent for three weeks now.

Word has it he hurt his back and can't sit to use a computer. :(

So this is the official Get Well card for Leo. Post your sentiments in this thread. After a few days, the "powers that be" have promised to print it out and snail-mail it to him so he can read it.

We need him back soon, because he's usually the person who corrects me when I screw up. Besides I kinda miss the old fart.

Sign his get well card here, and hopefully we can brighten his day.

Come back soon, Leo!

I hired a harpist to play some soothing music for you.

Leo,
Hope you are back in the saddle soon.

[SuzyView]

Leo, I didn't know. Say a little prayer and hope you get well soon. I have back trouble, so I understand. I wondered where you've been, though. :)

Here's a badly lit picture of me at the mirror, here's your opportunity to get back on the saddle. :):o

[SkipD]

All of the above combined, Leo. Hope you're back soon. :D

[S.Horton]

So, that's why you haven't answered my last e-mail................

Will call tomorrow.

You'll be lucky if I don't stop by with <gasp> our outspoken mutual friend.

For those of you who have met Leo in person, this is not news, but for those of you who have not, I will say this is one of the most genuinely kind people that I have ever known.

He's generous with his time, patient, and although brilliant and talented is never boastful or flashy.

Of those you would wish to get well, he's at the top of the list in my book.

[OldA1]

My thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery & return.

Peace
Mark

[S.Horton]

So, laugh your a*s off, and get well!

Someone once said nothing will cure a bad back faster than a day of hard work. I doubt if that person ever had a bad back, so take it easy .

No surprise there.

Hope yo're feeling better Leo.
All the best.

Hi Leo,

Even though I don't hang out in the flash forum too much, I lurk there a lot and I've seen how helpful you are in that forum as well as other places. Thanks for all you do as a moderator, and get well soon.

-Chandler

[-MasterChief-]

[condyk]

[Mark0159]

[asolie]

Hope you feel better soon! :)

Get well soon Leo. Your presence is greatly missed.

:lol:

[kona77]

Leo has provided some fantastic flash advice in the past that has been very helpful. Get well soon.

In the meantime Leo may want to consider one of these for his bedroom so he can lay on his back and surf the forums.

[poloman]

Get healed Leo! You are missed!

[Mr. Clean]

Heal up and don't rush it! Get well!!!

Mike

[luukie]

Get well soon mate! I feel your pain, I just had the same, not as severe as you though, I couldn't sit for two days. Luckily the chiropractor did good work and managed to get my back somewhat straight again. Now I can sit again, not too long though...

[shannyD]

Get well Leo. and take care of that back.and get back on here.

Which Leo are you talking about?
Even though we make him pay us to hang out with us, we still insist that he remain the but of all our jokes,. and he's blind as a bat too! :lol:

He doesn't need these kind words and affection to get better,. toss your respect,. he needs a swift boot in the rear!


;)

[bolantej]

Get well soon, dude. Back injuries suck.

[Jamie Holladay]

Get better soon PaceAce.

[René Damkot]

Get well soon!

[b1gdaddy]

Get well soon, back injuries suck :cry:

[PacAce]

WOW!!! :shock:

I'm speechless! I don't know what to say other than thanks for all your concerns and well wishes (especially to you, Curtis for starting this thread). I'm truly touched.

Sam called me this morning as did Tom (Belmondo) a couple of minutes ago to see how I was doing and to also let me know that I was missed here.

Yeah, back aches can be a real pain!! And it's no fun surfing the net lying on my side. :| Early last month, I hurt my upper back dragging two garbage bins packed full of newly cut grass clipping from the back yard to the front curb and that put me out for a couple of weeks. Then, when I thought I was healed, I went and hurt my lower back. Bummer! Fortunately, my back injuries were muscular in nature and nothing that required any type of surgery.

The good news is that the back's much better now and I'll be getting back into the full swing of the POTN grind before not too long. :)

Thank you all again for your well wishes!

[TMR Design]

Glad to see you back Leo. I've hurt my back and had to deal with injuries involving the sciadic nerve and it's no fun at all!!

Take care of yourself and don't strain anything.

[Curtis N]

Well Leo, I guess I can call FEMA and call off the search and rescue team, now that you've been located.

I'm glad you're on the mend and not suffering something more serious. But you can't just disappear without people worrying about you. Next time I expect you'll fill out an official Leave of Absence request before going AWOL on us.

Now you have some work to catch up on. I have posted 436 posts since your last appearance and you need to go through them and correct my mistakes.

Follow doctor's orders of course, but hurry back to the flash forum as soon as you can. It's too much work chasing the trolls out of there by myself!
;)

[Tom W]

Hey, good to see you're up and about. At least a little bit.

The back is quite an awkward design, and injuries can bring about a tremendous amount of pain.

[John_B]

PacAce,
Glad to hear your feeling better :)

[Mgdh]

PacAce,

So glad to hear you're on the mend!

Backs can be funny things. Take it easy and make sure you're back to full health and strength before taking any chances!!!!

[Wazza]

Good to hear you've come through with only some muscle strains. Better replace all those heavy 2.8 lens now ;)
f2 200's will do the job nicer :)

[Becky N]

PacAce good to see you are on the mend. Can't wait for you to be back here 100% without the Flash Forum going full speed, Curtis is driving me nuts here at home. Not to mention the poor dog what with all the flashing and measurbating. :rolleyes:

Please hurry and get well.

[E-Dude]

Didn't I just see you in a meeting?

I had no idea that you're back was out. I guess I don't get to your building too often.

Hope you are back on your feet (and computer) soon!

[Lord_Malone]

Speedy recovery to you, old man. Get back to the forums in a hurry.

EDIT: Oops. I guess I'm a day late and a dollar short. :(

[MDJAK]

Oh, goodie, one moderator down. Gives me more room to run wild. :lol: ;)

And, hey, maybe they'll finally take my ten page application to become a moderator more seriously now that there's an opening. :)

Now, if that's not enough reason to get well soon, I don't know what is.

Leo, I still ain't got that flash thing down, pal, so get back soon, ya hear? Feel better, friend.
me

[S.Horton]

I know someone who saw him last night.

....he's around.

:eek::eek::eek::eek:;)

[PacAce]

Thanks again for your concern, folks. I'll be popping in and out of here for the next week or so but this time it's only because things are a little hectic at work.

And NO, there's no truth to the humors going around that I switched over to the dark side in anticipation of the soon-to-be-released (or so they say) Nikon D3. :lol:

LOLLOL I Never thought about that Leo, but it's funny.
Continue to feel better my friend. :D

;)

I know you know him; the kick was on the phone. ;):cool:

However, I did have to talk him out of the Nikon. He ended up with some Nikkor glass and an adapter. I think he hit his head doing back recovery exercises.

It wasn't easy.

:p

[PhotosGuy]

Bad back: BTDT. Good luck with it, Leo!
