monday I had surgery to change my batteries in my neurotransmitters. my neurosurgeon told me in 3-4 years they will have rechargeable batteries so my next one will be my last surgery for battery change. If you have bilateral DBS now you will only have one battery, not two like I have. ray Rayilyn Brown Board Member AZNPF Arizona Chapter National Parkinson's Foundation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn [log in to unmask]
