How to Get to the Dry Gulch Ranch Cowboy Range

Hope to see you there!!

This just in from Filthy Harry

Filthy Harry here, managed to have a stroke a couple weeks ago. First time. Found out I'm 95 to 100% blocked on my right Carrotid. Artery. They put me on blood thinners, but found out I have a blood disease that kills my red platelets. Now I'm off blood thinners and hoping I don't stroke out. <br />
I need 75,000 red platelets for them to operate, but I'm holding at 33,000. Brain test tomorrow, if I'm 100%, I'm OK, cause no stroke risk if there's no blood flow. I'm getting plenty through my left side. If I'm 95%, They want to operate Friday, but don't know how to get platelets up. I had my spleen out 12 years ago to fix this problem. Enough whining from me, I'd just appreciate some prayer so I can get back to shooting. Just retired last year so I could concentrate on matches. <br />

WR<br /><br />Prayers up for Harry!

    [font=times new roman,times,serif]Not good. As the group gets older there's more and more of this crap. [/font]<br />

    I gotta ask this for when he feels up to reading the board again - what if they try the brain test and can't find it? <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' /><br />

    Good Luck Filthy!<br />

    [font=times new roman,times,serif]I've always found that living in a fourteen dollar world with a nickel brain has been very serene. Having always depended on "the kindness of others" for my support has also been quite rewarding. [/font]<br />

    Wish you the best Harry! Putting in a word for you. <br />

  • O K, long story short, with meds, I oughta be fine. My right Carotid is so blocked, nothing can break loose and cause a stroke. Plenty blood getting through on the other side. Red Platelets are sticking together, so I've got plenty of those after all. Found out I'm allergic to the dye they do a brain scan with. <br />
    Thanks for prayers and thoughts. Got to practice for Snidely now. Which end of the gun points at the target?
  • Saguaro KidSaguaro Kid Stick It In Your Ear
    So without the dye they can't check if the brain is there?

    I realize that DD and SK are the professional instructors, but here is an educational picture in response to Filthy Harry's question:<br />
