I say AMEN to what you wrote Linda. Thanks to the list information I was able to learn about and have an STN DBS done a month ago. Without all the information I have gotten I would still be house bound unable to drive. That has all changed since my surgery. I am thankful that I have a supportive family and friends, but my friends on the list are the ones who really understand because you have been where I am. I'm also thankful that I have my faith in Jesus to kee my perspective on the whole picture. THIS IS NOT ALL THERE IS! Blessings to you all. Marty [log in to unmask]
