hello ray and art,
yes, my mom just had the DBS procedure done at kaiser in LA last week,
she was just released from the hospital on Monday.....so it is somewhat
early in her recovery
to observe significant results....however my mom says her tremor has been
reduced greatly, she is able to sleep better...
she is going for an adjustment next week..."want to zoop up the power";)
A Parkinson specialist, Dr. Silver and her Neuro at Kaiser
recommended DBS, and yes my mom had a Palliodotomy 7 yrs ago at Loma Linda
under the care of Dr. Iaconna.
I must say with the Palliodotomy, there were immediate and significant
results for my mom, really on the miraculous level....And the surgery itself
did not seem as serious or scary as dbs. Two days after the pall. surgery,
my mom and entire family were hiking the bluffs at Torey Pines in san
diego....
Hoping the dbs has similar results in the days ahead.....
praying for a cure....
peace and merry thoughts
happy holidays everyone
tess
