Welcome Dick and Margie, How exciting it is to read about a new member who is coming aboard with such GOOD news! If I may, a few questions: what entity is coordinating the surgical procedure and experimental testing completed at the North Shore Medical Center on Long Island? It sounds like an international effort. Does Dick continue to take PD meds? How intensive is the follow-up care after surgery? How long did the surgery take? What are the criteria used to select candidates for the procedure? Thank you for sharing your experiences. Wish you both the best.
