Time drags

So this is continued from yesterdays entrance as I didn’t realise there was a limit to how much you can write on the journal each day . Last year my consultant put me forward for DBS ( deep brain stimulation ) surgery treatment up at Bristol - in brief they insert an electrode into a very specific part of your brain with wires attached wch run under your scalp to your chest where they are connected to an internal battery !!
It all sounds very cutting edge but it’s actually been around quite a few years now. It’s a bit like a heart pacemaker but it’s a neurostimulater . The electrode produces electric impulses to regulate abnormal ones .

By having this rather radical and scary surgery it would enable me to significantly reduce my medication and so while not halting the progression of Mr P, It wd relieve the dyskensia and other symptoms.
The first attempt of surgery failed when I developed an infection of the battery site area and had 10 days in hospital fighting the infection . They re - operated just before christmas and put everything beck in place and it all went well this time or so I thought.

However today was D day when I Would finally get ‘switched on ‘ ! This involves coming off all your meds the night before( not fun !) and then a 2 1/2 hr drive Sadly they took one look at one of my head wounds that hadn’t healed very well but I thought was fine and admitted me once again- back on iv antibiotics, no switch on for a few more weeks and stuck here - it’s 6.00 am and I don’t think I’ve slept all night! .
