DBS Surgery

I have had several requests to update my status since my surgery on December 15. I will be going to the doctor to adjust my voltage on Tuesday and would like to defer until then. My neuro advises that it takes 3 weeks for the full impact of each adjustment to take place. The amount of meds I need has been increasing a bit, so I think my body is adjusting, but will know more after Tuesday. Thanks for your patience!
