He is having the first of his Deep Brain Stimulation procedure appointments next Thursday! They will implant the first of the leads (electrodes?) in his brain; one week later, they implant the 2nd, and on 11/29 (our 38th anniversary!) they will implant the "controller". There was a lot of testing to ensure that he was eligible for the surgery and that he will likely benefit from DBS. We welcome all prayers and good thoughts!

You both have my prayers and good thoughts, @maxaz1. The results that I've seen have been quite remarkable with DBS. I hope that he does as well! Where will the surgery be performed? Is it done awake or with sedation? (I know that some hospitals are able to use sedation these days.)
