Edythe, Thank you for the reply to my surgery questions. I've been told the Laser is better to have but unfortunately my Dr. doesn't do that. Should I look for one that does? I don't know. He said I'd be given something (?) to relax me (HA), I'm really scared so I do appreciate your calming words and success story about your husband. I hope he has something to take for his anxiety. If a person isn't depressed before the diagnosis of PD, you are going to have some bad days once you know. Taking "one day at a time" has never meant more. Thanks for the note. Patricia
