Kari and Gary update
We got the stitches out last week Thursday so far good Kari has been feeling good and hair is growing fast. Lumps and itch has leveled off, the foot turning is coming back, which is good that is what the dr wants so they can see the results from the DBS etc.
Next week they turn on the battery will update all afterwards
Any help appreciated
results after DBS
A) complications to be aware of that medical does not tell you afterwords of battery turned on?
B) Those I’ve had DBS are you still taking Botox? pills?
As always any advice appreciated!

Kari symptoms have returned they is a good thing so they can see what the DBS does : left foot turned in, voice crackle, freezing, slow reaction fogging mind st times but Kari is our Rock star in all measures within limits still exercises, drives, does house and yard work does some shopping so as a caregiver my only adobe is (“Love , Patience, Be there )
