Deep Brain Diarist, Logging On!
Greetings! I just found out about this site and thought I'd come in and take a look.
I’ve been a radio news director, a disc jockey, a talk show host, and I programmed the “On Broadway” channel at XM Satellite Radio from 2001 to 2003. Now I'm a full-time writer-editor, I work from home most days and go into the office when I feel up to it.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2000 and had Deep Brain Stimulation surgery in June 2007 as part of a clinical trial to determine the safety and tolerabilty of DBS in early PD.
As I write this, I’m noticing a deterioration in balance and gait. But for the most part, I’m doing just fine.
I live in Elkridge, MD with my wife, Gail, my stepson, T.J., and our two doggies, Raven and Shiloh.
