isnt it fantastic. they did it here in madison already a few months ago. they dont have to attach that heavy thing to your head, and they do it inside the mri machine with specially developed non-metal instruments. it takes far less time - about 3 or 4 hours, i think, and the patient is asleep all the way through. i almost wish i had waited another couple of years. by the way i am going on monday to have my batteries replaced. is there anything special i should look out for? hilary ________________________________ From: Rayilyn Brown <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 6:14 PM Subject: you don't have to be awake anymore for DBS.
