The knee surgery went great. The DBS system had to be shut off. We showed the 2 nurses that were going to be in the operating room how to turn it off and on. When the anesthesiologist came in they were going to do a epidural for numbing and local anesthesia. However after talking they decided to put him completed under so his body would relax since the DBS was going to be off. He also has involuntary movement in the leg that was having the knee replacement. Some obstacles we have encountered during recovery making sure the hospital and rehab center understand the importance of taking the Parkinson's medicine on time, that Parkinson's patient require exercise and or movement for the upper body too during rehab, that they are also immune compromised so they can't share a room with someone that can spread diseases since they will share bathrooms and living quarters.
