I thought I read that the transplanted lung itself was infected?

I'm and idiot for not reading the OP carefully, but yes, that seems to be correct.

Pretty shitty deal. This would seem to indicate that it wasn't at all expected (though obviously a known possibility).

Damn. Sorry to hear. He'll be remembered in thoughts and prayers.

I worked as a Respiratory Therapist for 9 years. Took care of many lung transplant patients. Never heard of a lung having an existing fungus/bacteria and placing it in a serious compromised patient anyway. Doesnt make sense.

Besides rejection of the lung, infection is the #1 cause of death from lung transplants.

Was that your cover in Lebanon or Kuala Lumpur?

:D

Nah - they show Patriots games. Chiefs games are shown in hell. Obviously.

I thought about posting something like this earlier but decided this wasn't the place for it.

Phobia comes through though lol.

Chiefs games are used as America's technique for torcher.

EDIT: RIP MAN RIP

Sad. RIP.

Yes he has a son and a wife. Both are doing very well all things considered.

From the way I understand it is that all of our bodies carry certain bacteria and or viruses among other things like that around all the time and everything is ok. But when they get transplanted the other persons body may see them as bad and try to attack them which will make them actually do harm to the recipients body with a weak immune system.

Right, that's the way I've always understood it can happen. Anyway, I'm very sad to hear that he passed.

Best to his family.

I was just told about Crazyhorse and wanted to pay my respects.

I didn't know CH on a personal level, but have conversed w/ him on the board a few times. I was unaware that he had lung cancer and was going through transplants. More shocking was how young he was when he passed. :( My heart goes out to his family and friends.

RIP, Crazyhorse.

This is pretty much how I feel. I'm not sure CH and I ever interacted but I do remember him. It hurts to lose a CP member any time.

I shouldn't have laughed... but I did. Fever has said what I feel, hurts to lose a CP member.

Thanks for the consideration Dr. J. It's nice enough that you gave me the option of hiding or admitting embarrassment.

I had a couple of PMs back and forth with him asking him how he was doing months after his first transplant. He appreciated my asking him and replied very kindly. That's all. But his passing is a shock to me because I was hoping he'd get a good lung the 2nd time around and pull through.

I think we all did. Or at least the vast majority of us... He was somewhat blessed in that he got an extra 5 years with that first transplant. Madmax had no such luxury. I don't know why and I don't want to get all political but here were two guys who had organ disease/failures. One got a second lease and one died looking for a transplant. RIP to both big hearted members of this community.

Crazyhorse may you rip and go to the kingdom of god and receive your seat next to god. God bless his family in their hour of grief.

Sorry to hear that. I know as rivals we enjoy taking the piss out of each other, but my condolences. Rest in peace.

RIP CrazyHorse... He was a very level-headed poster who had been dealt a crappy hand in life(or by the white man which he never said), yet he went ahead and blazed a trail for not only his generation but many yet to come. We should all be so strong.

LMAO

He fought this battle courageously,he and I connected well for he had the same lung illness my wife has. He chose the lung transplants and my wife chose not to have them.

My wife has lived a good life, continuing to impress her lung doctors while still living.

RIP friend.

This is a terribly sad story and my condolences to his family and friends.

May he Rest in Peace and his suffering come to an end.

Remember how fragile life is.......

Well, that's good. For some reason I was thinking he was a single dad. I'm glad that the rest of the family remains intact.

Not important, but I'm curious. Was CH of non-white ethnicity?

I'm sad to hear this. He was a good poster.

RIP, Crazyhorse.

Sincerest condolences to family and frends.

He never posted any pictures of him jumping over fires, never spoke of a special affinity for watermelon, and his mustang didn't seem to have any pointless swag accessories, so I'm guessing "anglo".

My sincere condolances to the surviving family. A big loss for sure

White men oppress me, and I'm white. We all hate the white man.

Damn, just got back from the mountains and this is the first thing I read, RIP.

RIP. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Crazy Horse was a good guy. He will be missed.

Yet he called himself Crazy Horse. :hmmm:

This.

He's a Chiefs fan, so that could be the reason for the name. I personally have no clue, though.

Didn't he have an avi for a Mustang? Thought it might be an auto reference.

He had an 80's Mustang. He posted it quite a bit on car threads. It wasn't very crazy though. You would figured a "Crazyhorse" mustang would have silly straws or something taped to it.

I think it was a little older than that.
Took a little digging but I found it in the Cool Car picture topic.

I hope his son is able to keep the car.

Nice find. I Wonder if we can add the mustang to the Top of the page? Or does this place require a camero

I don't really know how to add pictures and stuff very well but if a Mod wants to add it that would be cool. As far as I am concerned.

I'm not a huge Mustang guy but from the links to the pics of his ride its definately much older than this. Like a 1964 to 1968 vintage. I think they changed from this general body style somewhere around 1969. These Mustangs were small and fairly lightweight. Didn't take gobs of horsepower to make these small cars haul ass. I always thought his username probably referred to his Mustang...probably hopped up and fast. That plus the line "all motor" under the pic in his avi is generally used by car guys that have a bad ass fast ride with no power adder like a supercharger or nitrous oxide. Hence the term all motor. Guy was definately a car guy.

RIP

My heartfelt condolences go out to all.

One of my very good friends. He and His wife took my wife and I out to dinner to tell us the news when he was diagnosed. He was working out, in great condition, just couldn't believe it. He was the one who directed me to the planet. We disagreed about alot of things concerning the Chiefs and sometimes I would debate him about it. Seriously witty and you'd better bring your A game to get into a verbal smack down with Him. He was the absolute the most honest, transparent person I've ever met. He adored his wife and son and had no regrets when He died. He was seriously a man of impeccable character, but if he said he would beat you down if He saw you, you'd better be on your guard. He spit no empty words.

After He was diagnosed, our conversations became much more candid and heartfelt. He had amazing insight on a lot of things and once told me, "The most valuable thing you possess is your self-respect". He's right.

Just thought I would pass it on.

Not to worry about that. He actually finished this car while he was really sick, dragging oxygen tanks around. You talking about hops man, this car's a screamer. He did it right, inside-out. I saw it when he had just gotten the motor right, before he started any of the bodywork/paint, etc. Other friends on here may have seen it as well.

Too bad crazyhorse didn't get to enjoy the car more though. Although to most car guys half of the fun is building it. At least his son should get some enjoyment out of it. By the way sorry about your loss. Sounds like you guys were pretty good friends.

R.I.P. CrazyHorse

Damn, so sorry to hear that. Seemed like a real good dude. RIP.

RIP. Damn few like him. Prayers for him and his family.

On the contrary, I think many like him.












OK I'm being silly. Sorry Crazy Horse for getting silly in your thread. Pop one open there in heaven for us the still earthbound Chiefs fans.

Wow, very sad. Just a couple of years older than my oldest kid. Thats waaaay too young.

Prayers for the family.

RIP

Sorry for your loss, CP.

That’s what I was thinking, ’64-68. About ’69-70 is when they started getting bigger.
CH once posted a YouTube video of it and it was a tire smoking monster. IIRC he told me the engine was a Mustang 302 stroked to 347, forged bottom end, roller top end, around 11:1 CR. Just a nasty street rod.

Yes, CH was a gear head. Building it was “a labor of love”, his words.

Crazy Horse and I didn't always agree, but then again this is Chiefs Planet and that's pretty much what we do here.

RIP.

Not sure if this is the video you're talking about, but here's one I stole from the Orange Mane's thread. It's from 2008, so I assume he did quite a bit of work since then based on his avatar.

Good find. :thumb: I believe that is it, before body work and paint.

In this one you can hear his voice and that is his son starting the car. His son will keep this car.

As you can tell in these videos there was already a lot of work done to the car as far as the underside and the engine compartment.

yes that is the other one I was going to post.

It actually has a 351 that is bored and such to be a 393. It has Trick Flow heads and other stuff that is over my head. I know it was over 500 HP and 500 Torque.
It is a 64 and 1/2 original v8 mustang. He basicly bought the title, the car was in that bad of shape. I don't know that there is a bolt or nut in that car that is not new. I am not exaggerating. It is beautiful. It is a huge attention getter too.

People just keep passing away here, I'm starting to think we might need to be quarantined.

RIP Crazyhorse, thoughts and prayers for the family.

So very sorry to hear this. RIP and condolences to his family, friends, and those who loved him.

I’ll have to take your word for it. I was pulling that from memory clouded by a few years worth of booze consumption. I remembered he stroked an SBF, just assumed it was the more popular 302 to 347.

Like I mentioned earlier I'm not much of a Mustang guy but I was figuring the same when you mentioned it. From what I understand from people who have done this swap that 351 windsor engine is like an inch taller and two inches wider physically than the 302 even though they are the same engine family because Ford used a taller block in the 351 to accomodate the longer stroke. I've been told its very doable but kinda a pain fitting the 351 in these smaller 'stangs just because of clearance issues. This guy must have had one hell of a time getting that all to fit so cleanly. And from what I can see the guy did a very meticulous job. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy seeing nicely done up rides like this one.Thats one nice ride that his son can be very proud of.

WOW. Thats gotta be a handful in that small car. Thanks for the videos.

Well I'm out of this thread. Here's to you Crazy Horse.

May your coach in heaven be comfortable and your reception of the Chiefs games be clear.
