Hi all.... I have been "lurking" on this wonderful listserv for months and have read with interest all the postings....especially David Boots humorous and courageous tales... My father will be 65 on May 11...he was diagnosed 23 years ago at age 41. He has been on the pallidotomy waiting list at Loma Linda but has elected to have the surgery at Duke University Hospital on May 14th ...(just two weeks away, now!) Has anyone had or does anyone know of another Pallidotomy patient at Duke? Deane Collie.
