Thanks reverett, especially for the link to your blog, what you say makes perfect sense. I've immersed myself in past posts from all of you (bows and waves ) over the last 4 months, and you've given me an understanding of PD I couldn't find elsewhere ( except for when the high level tekky stuff leaves me gawping, mouth open !)
My indecision stems from :
1. No guarantee that the surgery will cure the infection (as last time). If it was 80/90% guaranteed to work I'd go for it
2. That the last surgery (or the massive infection leading to it) kicked off the onset of my discernable PD symptoms
3. That perhaps the anaesthetics themselves (again I refer to prior posts) or the trauma of the operation promoted the changes.
What I really need is a Magic Wand
