In a week or so my wife, who is 63 years old and has had Parkinsons for some 19 years, will undergo major abdominal surgery, requiring a hospital stay of at least four days. She is in generally good health (45 minutes walking on a treadmill daily, many hours a day making jewelry, chief Parkinson symptoms being tremor and dyskinesia). We are concerned with her Parkinsons medications while in the hospital and whether pre-operative preparation and post-surgery care will be attentive to any particular problems related to her Parkinsons. Does anyone have advice for us? (If you don't think your reply would be of general interest to members of this list, please reply directly to me at our "from" address.) Thanks.
