I'm a week away from having DBS surgery in Pittsburgh. I found this video very heartwarming and encouraging.

Good luck to you and hope your DBS procedure went well. I am looking at DBS for my essential tremors that I have lived with since I was 35 and will be 60 in June. Going thru the preliminary testing at Emory in Atlanta and might possibly have the procedure this fall.

@@doughuie7578 Thank you. It went very well and has my tremors under control. I know it's not an answer for everyone, but I hope it works out for you, too.
