Time for my surgery

[Whisper]

Hello all

Some of you may know about my Parkinson's disease and that I've been waiting for the DBS surgery (Deep Brain Stimulator) for couple years now. It's eight years from my diagnose and now finally after several tests I'm going the get my skull drilled, 29th of April. So, just for your information, my lovely guys here :big hug:

:heart:,

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure used to treat several disabling neurological symptoms—most commonly the debilitating motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD), such as tremor, rigidity, stiffness, slowed movement, and walking problems. The procedure is also used to treat essential tremor and dystonia. At present, the procedure is used only for individuals whose symptoms cannot be adequately controlled with medications. However, only individuals who improve to some degree after taking medication for Parkinson’s benefit from DBS. A variety of conditions may mimic PD but do not respond to medications or DBS. DBS uses a surgically implanted, battery-operated medical device called an implantable pulse generator (IPG)—similar to a heart pacemaker and approximately the size of a stopwatch—to deliver electrical stimulation to specific areas in the brain that control movement, thus blocking the abnormal nerve signals that cause PD symptoms.

I wish you the very best, Whisper.

The person in my life who I loved and admired above all others had Parkinson's. I helped take care of her.

So you'll have a hole in the head. Make it a fashion statement!

Whisper you'll make it - I know it! Be brave - I know these are only words - but they will come deep of the bottom of my heart. I want to wish you all the very best and I'm sure - soon you will tell us here how good you are feeling again! My granddad always is saying in bad situations: Eyes front! Asscheeks compacted and THROUGH! In this sense best of luck to you!

I wish you the best luck.

Few days ago I read an article about it in the newspaper. There was an interwiew with one lady, former basketball player, who underwent this and she told she is able to throw a ball on the basket for fun now. Huge improvement.

So I'm looking forvard your return with this hi tech device which will give you super turbo boost to moderate this forum 500% faster than before.

I wish you to have a total new dimenson of quality in life.

Dear M.

I would like to be close to you and hug you.

You're a strong person and this will certainly help you overcome this intervention.

With affection. :big hug: Sal

Best wishes

I sincerely hope your surgery will be successful. I do have something of a selfish motive. My brother has Parkinson's disease and seems to be getting worse. I would like to think there is some hope for him.

Please let us know how you are doing. :big hug:

 

[OLMPKY]

Oh man. I really hope you come out of that surgery alive yo.
