> Udi: Gordon has had two surgeries at the Oregon Medical School. I believe Dr. Burchiel was trained by Dr. laitenen. Anyway, we believe there is a period of healing. Six months after his lst surgery Gordon has been feeling very well. this is not to say he wan't improved immediately--his tremors on the left are gone, his foot cramping gone--that was during surgery. However, your father has had a great deal of stress and he must be patient and recover. Your Doctor can guide you through this, also, I'm sure.
