On 4/16/10 i went to see DR. Slevin in Lexington Ky. I was refered to him by my nuerologist, Dr. BLake. After this visit i have alot of decisions to make, Dr Slevin wants me to have the surgery within 6 monts. If i do the surgery they can decrease the meds i take, and with a successful surgery it would mean that it would make my chances of getting dyskensia pushed into the future alot longer. whereas if i dont have the surgery and they continue to increase my meds i end up with dyskensia in my 40's possibley. which i turn 36 tomorrow what a wonderful day huh. i am awake during the surgery while they drill what they call burr holes in the top of my head 2 of them 1 on the left side of my brain and 1 on the left. then i have wires going under my skin to a box in my chest. now for this surgery to happen they have to shave my head ( which im not so thrilled about) and im awake to me this is scary . but it would mean no more tremors. something i have prayed for , for a very long time... but how long will the surgery last no one knows depends on each person, it could last a very long time with low dose of meds. or it could work for so long and have to slowly increase meds i just don't know what to do at this point.
