"I had Deep Brain Stimulation surgery in April, 2008 and am feeling great with two of my most challenging Parkinson's symptoms alleviated."

Thursday, June 19, 2008 | A Painful story

I now have a gash in my forehead.   It progressed from the small slit from the stitches the surgeon pulled on June 2nd.  I went back to my him today for the 4th time and all he keeps saying is treat the area with hydrogen peroxide and q-tips.   I have done this 2-3 times a day for 2 weeks and this will not go away.    If this infection gets on the "hardware", they will have to take it all out.  So today, after much whining, he prescribed an antibiotic an said "This will heal on its own and will be little scarred."

 

I so hope this works.  The doctor is not worried.   I am getting a little panicky.
