I doubt that anybody missed me, but after about 6 weeks, I am back on list. While I was gone my sister on a visit to Knoxville saw a newspaper article that she brought to me, about DBS. It is full page article about a Knoxville man with severe tremor not helped by medication. The paitent was the first to receive the surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. It was also the first done by the Doctor. Wow, I guess somebody has to be the first one. According to the news article the paitent is doing extremely well. So I think it is good news that DBS is being done at more locations, hopelfully that will make it possible for PWP's to get the surgery if they are in need of it. As I said, it was a full page article and an example of some good news coverage, unlike the usual news that I talked about in my TOP TEN list of why I like to watch the evening local TV news.
