Minnie Mouse saves the day!

My last post abo1ut the DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation\) operation was somewhat pessimistic. No cloud of blue smoke, no space buzz from George Jetson, in short – No action. How could I believe this was all going to work? But now: …….

I believe!

What caused this epiphany? Minnie Mouse. Huh? Keep reading Io

rrWhen we were at the second “tuning” session, the neurologist was cranking away at “pulse width” and other electronic ephemera.
in mid-word, I started squeaking like Minnie Mouse, This was not as adorable as it might sound since my chest was also getting tight. The neurologist said “Well, I guess that’s your limit,” and cranked the setting back down. Immediate relief — and the confirmation that my brain controls my body (however imperfectly).

Now I am going through the tedious but necessary process to “try on” all these combinations — every couple days I try a new combo. Some make me very unsteady, some make me feel like I’ve just drunk seven cups of coffee, and some make me feel “calm and positive”. Gotta be ready by my 3rd -and last – tuning appointment .on January 18

May your New Year .be “calm and positive”.
