Next weekend my father and I are flying my mother up from LA to San Fransisco, to drive her to the Kaiser facility in San Rafael. It will be the first of 3 pre-op pre pallidotomy appointments. When we went up for the initial consultation it was quite an ordeal because of needing to stay in a hotel (that time she hadd to go off her meds all nite) where she got not sleep (nor did anyone else.) But I figure we do what we have to do to support her and help her to have this surgery which she wants to do. She is very anxious and scared. I wondered if anyone had any tips about the time period before the operation(we have til the end of Sept) as far as ways to prepare both physically/emotionally and both for the patient and the caregivers. I concentrate on learning as much as i can and figuring ways to stay awake so i can safely drive us thru the city. debbie [log in to unmask]
