Just wanted to report that Don left for Grenoble yesterday for "retuning" of the electrodes (he had the stim surgery in Grenoble in June 1994). He could have gone to a site in the US for this adjustment, but inasmuch as he had the surgery done in Grenoble, they have his records (which they offerred to send here), and, most important, they have the experience, he chose to return to France. Total cost (covered by my moonlighting, not by insurance) was no more than cost of traveling to a US site--air fare was more, but hospital and medical MUCH less. I told him to make sure he's tuned for extensive walking; we plan a long backpacking trip this summer. Joanne Sandstrom [log in to unmask]
