Dear Mr. Combs, I faced the same dilemma when I was told I had PD. I was 54. My wife put me through such hell that the PD became a second place problem in my life. Then I couldn't even get out of a chair without assitance. But I was lucky. I met someone who truly cared for me despite my disability. I am now divorced and far more functional with my PD. Last week I played tennis! I urge you to consider your options with your wife before the DBS. You need someone who can be a true caretaker in your life.
