You poor dear! Do you yet have a working DBS system? Are you going through with the whole thing, or have you and your doctors decided against? It must be tough to go through so much unnecessary 'stuff'. I'm not sure I get it... Which part of the proceedure was the part that caused the infection? Did you have separate surgeries for the stimulator and the battery? Hang in there, Carol. Enjoy Fall!
