It's been a while. To all those who left such lovely comments which haven't gotten answered yet, I'm so sorry, but I just haven't had the heart. Now the DBS implant is working incredibly well, but I've had a host of digestive system issues to deal with, along with depression. I'm losing my job; come Monday I'll have 60 days to find a new one, but I think I'm going to hang up my hat. There are things I should be doing to take care of my PD that I haven't had time for, and things that I want to do while I still feel good.
It's a whole new chapter...
