In preparation for the luncheon that we had honouring Barbara Patterson and the tenth anniversary of the list, I tried contacting some of the older listmembers. By older I mean some of the members from the list's earlier days, not necessarily chronologically older. Among these people was Barb Mallut, now living in a retirement home in West Hills, California. Barb had been moved there by her daughters after she had some serious problems with her medications. She is without a computer, as least for the time being, though she has a listed phone number. Barb has had a unilateral pallidotomy some years ago, and I asked her if she had considered having DBS. No, she explained to me, you can't have a successful DBS after a pallidotomy - or so she thought. I wasn't so sure, as I think that I have seen it mentioned somewhere in my travels - but I'm not sure where. Does anybody on the list have any information on this? An answer on the list would be appropriate.
