George, PWP , has two surgerys since having been DX with Parkinsons. He had a cancerous tumor removed from his bladder and just last Oct had his carotid(sp) cleaned from a 99% blockage. Both surgeries went very well and had no ill effects from either surgeries. The only thing that everyone will warn you about, make sure meds are given on time. Speak with surgeon and floor nurses about tis. Be pushy if that is what it takes to get them given on schedual. We had no problems either time. I happen to be very NON-TIMID and very willing to stay in your face if thats what it takes. George had no problems with anesthesia. Hope this helps.
