Step One of DBS in 9 hours

Posted by keepthefaith1296 on August 25, 2008 at 11:29 PM
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.
