Praying. Keep us informed.

thanks all for your input....it helps...God bless you all ... our faith got us thru these tough times for sure...

AFter both operations, my husband hardly has any tremors, less uncontrolled movements, hardly anymore leaning to the right, and can easily dress himself and eat .. his voice seems to have come back stronger too! Thanking God for this operation and the drs involved in giving him an easier life. I pray it continues....as I do for all others and those who have PD.

My hubs has completed the first DBS electrode implant early Oct and now will have the other side done Nov 4th....then after that the battery pack will be implanted...a long road with many trips to NYC Mt Sinai which means trains and taxis...$$$....but in the long run his tremors will be controlled and he will get off some meds! that means less side effects...he is doing well after the first surgery. The drs were so excited since he has the first new product made by St Jude Medical . We are hoping and praying this will give him a much better quality of life!

We just bought a new bed .. very hard mattress... for Mark my husband...he seems to sleep a little better on it....Got it from Bob's Furniture in Poughkeepsie....he has scoliosis and sciatiac ... along with the early onset parkinsons (age 48) now 61...he is getting DBS tomorrow!!! Mt Sinai in NYC....prayers are welcomed!
