Hi Barb, Maybe it is time to start a club for those of us who find it relieves some of the pressure by putting either a hole of two in our squash. Maybe we could call it "the Partial Labotomy Club" or the "Future Donors of Bowling Ball Club" or possibly "At Least We've Been Fitted For Halo's Club". That's the only way I'll ever get one. Greg, let us know if your golf game improves post-pallidotomy. I was able to play basketball for the first time in five years last Sunday in a local tournament for charity. I'm afraid the younger players got the best of me. Although we played in 5 games and made it to the semi-finals, I ended up with a strained arch, a pullled hammie and a hip pointer. But it was nice to get those competitive juices flowing again. Maybe, we'll see you on the tour. I would like to add one comment to those people who are afraid to lesion an area of the brain: We as PWP already have a great deal of cell death. It seems to me that if there is to be a cure they will have to in some way reverse that development. Looking at some of the longer term Pallidotomized, like Barb M., while at admit she may not be on dead center(just kiddding Barb) she is one of the more thoughtful and knowledgable people on the list. I'll certainly take my chances knowing the quality of life improvement I have realized. This is not to persuade any person toward surgery. I am just stating my reasoning behind my decision. I am proud to be a member of the list!
