Teddy, I know there's been yet another delay...sorry to hear that, but I remain very optimistic about the eventual outcome. But this delay being because the guy who "maps" the brain couldn't find his way to the hospital...hmmmmmm. Now I'm hoping he doesn't like to wear a blindfold when he works.

Hang in there!

There we go, back into Xmas mode. The holey and the IV.

((((((teddy))))))

finally!!
 

I am sorry for not keeping all of you updated but 3 more cancellations were more then I could stand talking about.

I am here to say…drum roll please…. Finally – I hope-- tomorrow April1st I will have the DBS!! I know…..April fools day.
(about DBS….. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/...stimulation.htm)


I had the screws put in March 11; they are really called fiduciary markers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiduciary_marker Four, in a diamond shape on top of my head, not aware of them except when washing or combing my hair.

The c-scan on March 18 was uneventful.

So now it’s finally the day of the operation…..hmmm….. “O” day? lol. I won’t b e playing the video game. Seems it was a timed study and with my cancellations I missed it.  I was asked if they could film it, I said yes. We’ll see what becomes of that. I meet the camera-woman and I guess the producer tomorrow before surgery. Going to try lying down again. Haven’t had any meds since noon so I’m jumpy, shaking and cramping up like crazy. Doubt I‘ll sleep, but rest a little maybe. Have to be at hospital at 6:30 am.

Thank you all for your good thoughts and well wishes.
(((((Pixies)))))

Be sure to let us know watt they tell you as soon as you can.





...... and hurry back hun. :molest:

We're praying for you Teddy Bear. I know you can do this. Talk to you soon.

I just spoke with TeddyBear's daughter who was happy to relay the good news.:) After too many postponements, rescheduling and cancelations to assemble the variety of specialists needed for this not so simple procedure, it's done and all went smoothly. She went into surgery at 09:00 and was awake and conscious throughout until 14:30. She spent the next 2-1/2 hours in recovery being monitored as the local anesthetic wore off. She's now on a morphine drip and sleeping after NOT doing so last night in anticipation. :faint:


The next step is to have the battery pack implanted and that is scheduled to be done on the 8th of this month. I understand that to be a much simpler procedure and I'm elated to say she is over the peek and headed down the easy slope. :cheerlead:

I just read this thread and Teddy i am praying and wishing you all the best i hope that this operation will be a NEW lease in life and may it be a long joyous one!

my thoughts are with you and everything else is crossed in hoping and wishing!
all the best and hurry back so we can hear you're all well and rearing to casue a muck

best wishes and {{{{hugs}}}}

Wishing Teddy all the best for a great future.

Thanks a million for the update PF:
