A Television First: Live DBS

When I got to work this morning, I was greeted with my daily industry news e-mail and a surprise. For the first time on TV, there will be a two-hour special on an awake deep brain stimulation surgery. What are the odds of that?! I've been going to Vanderbilt since June in hopes that I will have deep-brain stimulation. At this time, it's on the back-burner in hopes that a less-invasive Baclofen pump will work for me, but still...deep brain stimulation will be filmed live on TV! It's air date is Sunday, October 25 at 9pm on the Nat Geo channel for those that would like to watch. I have to see if I can watch it at my parent's house, since I actually got rid of cable back in February.

As for me, I'm patiently (haha - if you know me, you know this is NOT true!) waiting for October 22 when I go back to Vanderbilt to talk about the Baclofen pump. I have no idea what to expect, but I'm thankful things are still moving forward.
