Congratulations Barbara! I forwarded your post to my parents. Mom is still waiting for the pallidotomy date. We heard they had a meeting with 6 people who had had the surgery at Kaiser San Rafael, as a followup meeting. Everyone sat around and exchanged stories and results. Everyone was better in one way or another. It is great to hear from someone after a longer period of time has gone by. Thanks for keeping us all a part of your experience. (One of these days when I am down-in-the-valley we ought to meet) Debbie [log in to unmask]
