Okay, WOW!  I can finally log on the forum at last.  Unfortunately I have only one thing to report and that is barring an unusual situation I will no longer be able to participate in any postal match.  I have Parkinson's Disease and it has gotten much worse in recent months.  My drivers license will be pulled likely sooner than later which means no more driving out to the range.  While there may be a small, very small, chance I can keep my DL I'm not even sure I'm up to it.  I had a wreck and it shouldn't have happened.  My thinking is that I'm far too along with the PD for anything to improve any time soon.  Sorry guys.

Sorry to hear about that Hanshi. CO Q 10  is supposed to slow it down but nothing stops it.

Hang in there Hanshi. Scientist  are making rapid progress in treating Pd.  A family friend recently got some sort of implant which helped him with his Pd incredibly.

Has anyone else shot? I did.
Blackfeet hasn't been able to get on the forum so I'm trying to keep the postal shoot going and will post scores if anyone else shoots this month.

Thank you friends for the well wishes, it means a lot to me.  The defining moment occurred when I was out walking around the block and fell flat of my face.  Didn't think it was all that bad but ended up in the emergency room the next day.  I am no longer capable of walking by myself outside.  I can't drive, either.  The only walking I'll be doing is with my squeeze to steady me.  To top it off they found something they were concerned about with my heart and I had to wear a heart monitor; That might be the ra since it can cause organ problems and Mine is severe.  I get monthly infusions and have three drugs I take orally.

Any drugs for the PD will depend on what & when the physicians decide the drugs are needed.  I'm lead to believe it's in the mild range currently.   (susp)

Just got on for the first time in two months. Sorry to hear that you have taken a turn for the worse Hansi.

How was the shoot turnout? I trashed my back, again. A 2 inch slip on a wet deck and here I am cripped again. Didn't even fall, just a tweak. Getting old is not for sissies.

Blackfeet:
Sorry to hear about the back problem but glad you are finally able to get back on the forum.
As far as I can tell I am the only one who shot the targets for August.
Does that mean I got first place and last place?  :o  &)  ;D
I didn't set up a September match due to an aparent lack of interest or ability and I will be too busy to shoot during September.
I would love to see this forum draw in a few more people and get an active postal match going again but for now it seems like a lost cause.
