@johnbishop Thank you!! I have been looking for information about the program. I have Essential Tremor, and the neurosurgeon also feels functional tremor. I do worry that my age and my bum knee might be an issue. I'm 63 and I've been putting off a knee replacement until I could not handle the pain.
