Greetings, all. My journey to Kansas City last week proved wonderfully fruitfull. I am on the list to have the "Palladial Stimulation" (sp?) surgery, most likely sometime this May. Originally, five procedures were performed at Kansas Univ Med Cntr. (where i went) and five at Mt. Sinai (sp?) in New York. The doctor i spoke with said he expects FDA approval within 2-4 weeks to continue the research, and that expansion to other sites around the country is a good possibility. So i have jumped my first hurdle (during an "On-Time of course :-) ). If anyone would like further info on what i learned, let me know and i'll post more to the list. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey R.
