Whatever it is, I'm thankful. They stapled the chip into my chest last week and removed the staples yesterday. Neither procedure was painful. From the way they talk, I think I would be cleared to climb Kilimanjaro again, not that I would want to!
Are you walking yet Peg?

(Nan:
I'm not walking, I am running! They seemed to get my neurostimulatorsx set just right and changed my medication to Rytary, the new extended release carbidopa-levodopa, and I am perfect (remember - all of this without dyskinesia or dystonia).
I recently did about 20 deep knee bends as part of my 10-minute a day workout. When I awakened the next morning, it felt as if someone had taken a knife and has ripped it through the front of my thighs! I certainly needed to work those muscles.
I am feeling fantastic (and lookiing pretty good, if I might add) Thanks for asking, Nan. Looks as if I found my magic recipe, and you have also.
