All the very best, I'm sure all will go well :Y: :Y:

Hi folks, all went well, nearly 5 and 1/2 hrs. Doc says all went as expected. Couple of hours in recovery and then 24 hrs in ICU before going into neurological ward. It has been a long and nerve wracking morning, the Ol coffee machine has had a workout.

[Dihusky]

That's great news, once she wakes up and you're both happy, think it'll be time for a celebratory beer and a bit of kip if you can get past the caffeine! 8) :Y:

Hi Pa, that is fantastic news and so pleased for Ma. May she make a speedy recovery.
God Bless you Both.

Pa. My (our) best wishes to you both.
Like you, we all need some more damn good news!

 

[Manpa]

Thank you everyone, I am gob smacked, I expected Ma to be drowsy and in some discomfort only to find her sitting up like Jackie having a cup of tea. 4hours awake while there drilling you skull and placing electrodes in your brain, then an hour asleep while they tunnel down your neck to just below your collar bone and fitting a battery is not my idea of fun. She has lost a lot of hair but that will grow back.
She was still very fidgety when I arrived and I thought the stimulator hadn't been turned on but the doc arrived while I was there and he assured us it was on and the movements were a hangover from the drugs given. Well bugger me by the time I'd left she was sitting completely still, only the toes were twitching. For the first time in ten years I could get close enough not to get kicked or clouted by the wild body movements, bloody fantastic!
Onward and upward from here and once again thanks everyone for your support.

 

[limpalot]

Great outcome, very happy for you both.

 

[Manpa]

Great outcome, very happy for you both.

Limpalot I know you are having your own troubles at the moment and our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your wife. I hope everything is heading in the right direction and your wife recovers fully.
Stay strong.

Great news Manpa :Y:

 

[Dignit]

That is the best news! So happy for you both.

Must be a happy man to see this happening in front of your own eyes-great advances in tech these days. :Y:

I think this system is probably not dissimilar to what you have had fitted, I'm just staggered at the improvements in such a short space of time. Ma struggled to get out of a chair without considerable lower back, hip and knee pain most of the time, we knew this to be a sympton of the Parkinsons and the effect it has on the muscles, she just rang overjoyed that she got out of the chair and back to bed with no discomfort. I'm sure each day will bring new positive effects. Like you she cannot lift anything for six weeks or lift her arms above her shoulders to give the electrodes time to "knit"
So glad to hear you are getting some relief and that you are on the mend, those who have never suffered debilitating pain sometimes struggle to understand what you go through just to try and function with some sense of normality.

Great news Manpa, modern medicine (more importantly those who dedicate their lives to it) is nothing short of amazing :Y: we are still in a lucky country. With these benefits available to us not that any of us want to go down the path but when it is thrust upon us we're very fortunate.

Very happy to hear ................... great news and hope the clouds clear and rainbows appear for you both. :rainbow: :rainbow: :rainbow: :Y: :Y: :Y: :Y: :Y: :Y:

 

[Dihusky]

That's truly amazing Manpa, I think my earlier (tongue in cheek) words about 'Spring Lambs' might be almost prophetic. Yes we complain about the cost of medicine and 'paying the next porshe installment' but how can one put a price on the skills that can produce this incredible result for your wife. :rainbow:

There is no doubt this is going to be life changing for the two of you and for you wife to be free of pain is a brilliant result. :Y:

Enjoy your new future :Y:

Great news Pa! I hope we hear of constant improvements :Y:
