I am forwarding this message from Deane Collie. She had difficulty posting it. Mary Ann ------------------------------------------------------------------------ My father, Tommy had a successful pallidotomy at Duke on 14 May. For the first time in 23 years he is tremor free on his right side...and, an added bonus, his left hand is also still about 1/2 the time! Unfortunately...Daddy had a significant heart attack on the day following surgery...the dotors are in a quandary as to what to do... He has had triple bypass surgery several years alo...angioplasty 4 years aga...his bypasses have worn down...and, while they would like to repeat angioplasty, the threat of using anti-coagulants so soon after surgery seems a hugh risk. Has anyone been in or heard of this situation before? He is scared...and so am I. Thanks..... Deane Collie [log in to unmask]
