Is that any different from being told one has 75% disability in PD? One wonders of course what it all means? What does it mean for you, hermie?

Well before my DBS I couldn't walk as my knee couldn't take my weight and I needed a caretaker. Stage 4. But in India we have setting on DBs left and right side. And today I am fine.
