Dad is home now.
Cindy is in town and staying with Mom and Dad. His headaches are not so bad now. Mom is understandably worn out and concerned. Now it's time to rest up and get ready for Stage 2B next week. Dad enjoys seeing postings from people here on the blog so feel free to leave them!
He is going home this morning!!
The surgery went very well. Dr Neimat said all the testing he did with the electrode positioning was 100%, which the Dr was excited to talk about. Dad's headache much milder today and he is READY to be sprung from the hospital!
The left brain was the side operated on so his right side for a little while after surgery will have less Parkinson's symptoms. Then he will have to wait for the power is turned on to the electrodes later in September or so, they will wait until all swelling is down before turning it on.
