LOOKING BACK ON DBS

COMING UP 2 YEARS SINCE I UNDERWENT DBS PROCEDURE. 
HI JOURNAL,
LOOKING BACK.  
FOR DBS IN OCTOBER 2009.
THE THREE OPERATIONS,
THE FITTING OF THE FRAME,
THE PLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRODES,
WHICH TOOK 8 HOURS,
INSTALLING THE STIMULATOR,
CONTROL UNIT AND WIRE LEADS.
I  WAS UNCONSCIOUS THE WHOLE TIME,
NEVER SAW OR FELT A THING.
EXPERIENCED ONLY SLIGHT SORENESS AROUND HEAD WOUND.
I WAS UP PACING THE CORRIDORS THE NEXT DAY.
 
BEFORE DBS I FELT,
A REDUCTION IN THE TREMORS OF 50% ,
WOULD BE NO MEAN ACHIEVEMENT.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING MIRACLES.
THEY HAVE IN FACT BEEN REDUCED BY 95- 98%.
I AM WELL PLEASED, AS TOO ARE MY TREATING CLINITIONS.
 
DURING MY STAY IN HOSPITAL,
 I SAW, WITNESSED AND EXERIENCED,
MANKIND AT IT'S BRILLIANT BEST.
IT'S GREAT TO BE ALIVE,   A-LIVE-O.
YOU BET IT IS.
 
I AM, A FORTUNATE MAN,
A VERY FORTUNATE MAN  INDEED.
