The time has come for my DBS process to begin. Tomorrow I will meet with Ann Sollinger, Ph.D. for a neuropsychological evaluation. To make sure I am psychologically ready for such an undertaking.
On Wednesday, I am scheduled to see Shirley D. Triche, N.P., for a pre-operative education session, completion of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating scale (both off and on me meds), and a preoperative videotape.
Later that day, I will have a MRI done of my brain, of course.
On Thursday I should meet the nuerosurgeon team and complete my psychiatric screening as well.
The time is drawing closer for the beginning of the rest of my pd life.
Darien, as u r preoccupied with DBS. I want to wish u all the best for the op and that i trust God will be present to ensure complete success.Keep the faith bro<img alt="tongue" src="http://images.freewebs.com/Images/Smilies/Round/tongue.gif"& gt;
