John,

Odd there has been no follow up post. I just do that all the time! Little jerks for me are common.

I had DBS (lead placement) last week. Simulator, aka "battery" next week, initial programming in another week.

Oddest thing post op from DBS Lead, got out of surgery at close to 9 PM. Took my medication, immediate nausea. In the morning, took my 2 * 25/100 Sinemet & 200 mg Comtan. Oh my, nausea city! It was such a shock to have that reaction as I need my meds every three hours. Currently as brain swelling (which somehow increased dopamine - no clue why) goes down I have to slowly ramp sinemet back up. Strange world.

With my shaved head and stitches I look ready to play the part of a Zombie for Trick-o-treaters tonight. (USA, Halloween.... aka all Hallows eve) odd things that came to America from the Irish.
