Dear Sharon, I have had the surgery you speak of but with delightful results but I have a friend who had the similar surgery and is now left speechless, can't walk or swallow, he must use a feeding tube. Needless to say there is a variety to the results of surgery. If you would like to read my story you will find it on the enclosed web page. I hope as time goes on Bob will continue to improve. Not everyone has the same outcome. >Hello, > My Name is Sharon & I have joined this list for my Best Friend, Bob, who >has Parkinson's & is having trouble utilizing his computer due to this.
