Prayer Request

Three years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and through a year long process, I have been approved for Deep Brain Stimulation. I have 3 procedures to go through. The firs was on May 5 and I did fine.

The second part is tomorrow, May 20, where they use the jig drill to holes in my skull to place the electrodes. I will be fully awake during this part to make sure the probes are placed correctly. There are some pretty cool videos on youtube that show how dramatic the change in tremors is.

The third procedure on May 27 is where they place the stimulator under the skin on my upper chest and attach the wires to the electrodes.

Then finally when the doctors are satisfied with the healing process (no infections or complications), they will turn the stimulator on and fine tune it for my needs. The doctor will give me a remote to turn it on and off and maybe to adjust it.

I’ll pray for you, and good luck, FRiend. I hope you come through with flying colors and this improves your quality of life.

An electrode stimulation setup? My girlfriend had something like that and...then she...didn’t need me...anymore (sniff sniffle). Please forgive me - humor was key to beating cancer and over-worrying kills people surely as much as illness. Reports are that this procedure has already helped hundreds of folks live better lives and I’m sure you’ll be one more. You have my prayers as you’ve been a good FRiend all these years and someone has to keep Tennessee in line. Later!

Prayers up.

For others, here's a video describing the deep brain stimulation procedure. It is perfectly watchable, not gory:

That is simply fantastic. A medical miracle.
