Barbara suggested that I might like to introduce myself to the list.
My name is Bob Archer, I live in Leicester in the UK. My mother has
Parkinson's and has just (last week) had the first pallidotomy in the
UK. It's still early days but the operation seems to have improved her
walking slightly - she now only requires guidance rather than actual
support but her speech has been badly affected. Her speech was not
good before the operation but is now almost completely
incomprehensible. I am told that her speech should improve with
therapy - perhaps someone else on the list can comment on this.
