Dear Marling, Surgery is scary, for sure, no wonder you're not ready. However, your neuro should be able to allay some of your fears, and should be able to locate a surgeon who is highly experienced. Meantime, you don't have to do anything at all unless and until you feel ready. You are in control of this aspect of PD, at least. Here's a cyber-hug; wish I could be there to give a hug in person!
