This is really for U.K residents unless there is some way of getting the BBC if you are non U.K resident.Anyway BBC 1 tonight at 9.00 has a programme on deep brain surgery. Hope I have not missed somebody else mentioning it

Stuart is 65 yrs old, he had the DBS electrodes implanted in his brain however he then developed blood clots on the lungs.

As the programme left, he had recovered from the brain surgery and blood clots however he was not yet strong enough (due to the risk of more clots), to have the stimulator implanted in his chest.

Does anyone know if Stuart has been able to complete the DBS and how successful it proved to be ??

The Guardian review said about Stuart that he was stoic and charming and that"future episodes will involve him making a triumphant return to health and fluid movement"(!!)
The Guardian should be particularly interested in this programme as I seem to remember that a Guardian journalist was shown having the same operation a view years ago .I did not particularly make note of it as my husband did not show any signs of Parkinson's then.If I remember correctly this journalist main disabling sympton was tremor.If anybody knows if there is a record of this programme and if so how to drag this programme on to the computer I would be grateful if they told me how.
