I couldn't believe I was actually doing it. I think I went into auto control just to make it thru.
It took about 4 weeks before my balance got better. I must've fallen once a day. Now I am in the middle of the programming. I am on 1 volt and have cut out my carbo levadopa. My dyskinesia and tremors are almost gone.
I hope things are going well with you. It will get better.

On Thursday, approximately three weeks post operative, I developed at DVT in the left leg that spawned two PEs that migrated to my lungs. So, I have been inpatient for six days getting a therapeutic level of Heparin. It felt like I was breathing for five people. Another day, I'd be dead...
Being a recent brain surgery person, the docs did not want to dissolve the clots using TPA as they were afraid of hemorrhage.
Sooo, still sitting here getting adjusted to oral Heparin while still getting the IV stuff that saved my life.
Good news is that I have enjoyed a prolonged honeymoon period that keeps me optimistic!
