My apologies for hitching a ride. I tried to start a new message but I am so dyskinetic I could not sufficientky control the mouse. So I guess I have a communicaitons problem. The big news is as follows: I am going tomorrow for my very first preliminary interview with the rep from Medtronics to talk about the possibility of DBS. Now this does not mean that I necessarily even qualify for the program. But in any event, I should be ready with some questions. So, over to you guys, what should I be asking?
